NetBIOS Filter Commands
The following describes the NetBIOS packet filter commands. See the Command Interpreter appendix for

Introduction
NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) are TCP or UDP broadcast packets that enable a computer
to connect to and communicate with a LAN.
For some dial-up services such as PPPoE or PPTP, NetBIOS packets cause unwanted calls.
You can configure NetBIOS filters to do the following :
• Allow or disallow the sending of NetBIOS packets from the LAN to the WAN.
• Allow or disallow the sending of NetBIOS packets from the WAN to the LAN.
