The three submenus are described as follows:
1. Filter State of Interface – This is used to choose the default, routing decisions for packets, not meeting the
criteria for specific filters.
2. Layer 2 Filter – This is a data-link layer (protocol independent) filter. Foreknowledge of the specific
protocol, used on the interface (LAN or WANs), is needed to make effective use of this filter.
3. IP Filter – This is an IP protocol specific filter, allowing you to, among other things, prohibit specific packets
from entering the LAN. Alternatively, you can set up filters that allow certain types of IP packets to enter the
LAN.
4. IPX Filter – This contains information necessary to set up an IPX filter (DI-1162M only).
Filter State of Interface
The Filter State of Interface submenu lets you toggle default, routing decisions, if the packets are not subjected
to a filter, routing decision. In other words, a packet, having not met the criteria for a specific filter that was
applied to a specific interface, will be subjected to this default, routing decision.
