Managing Filters
4-7
Interface name is eth:1 for the Ethernet interface and atm:1 for the ATM 
interface. For example, to apply an input filter to the ethernet interface:
set interface eth:1 input_filter filter.flt
When assigning the filter to the Ethernet interface, you must turn off filter access 
by entering the CLI command set interface eth:1 filter_access off. 
For more information about the filter access, refer to the Setting Filter Access 
section below.
Configuring a Filter for a
Port
■
To configure an input or output filter for a specific user, use the CLI 
commands:
set port 
set port 
■
For example, to apply an output filter to port 2:
set port 2 output_filter filter.flt
Setting Filter Access
When filters are assigned to both the WAN interface and a port profile, you need 
to tell the bridge which one to use using the filter access parameter. If filter access 
is ON, the port filters will override interface filters. If filter access is OFF, then the 
interface filters are used. 
Always turn filter access OFF for the Ethernet interface since there are no profiles 
associated with it. If you do not turn if off, the filter will not be applied.
■
To set the filter access parameter to ON for a specific interface, use the CLI 
command: 
set interface 
■
To set the filter access parameter to OFF for a specific interface, use the CLI 
command: 
set interface 
Managing Filters

Adding Filters to the
Managed List
The add filter command verifies filter syntax prior to adding the filter to the 
managed list. If the syntax is valid, no message is generated and the command 
prompt returns. If syntax errors exist, error messages are generated detailing the 
cause of the errors.
