How to Configure AppleTalk Route Filtering
Before you begin, make sure that filtering support is enabled for AppleTalk in
NIASCFG. Otherwise, filtering will not work.
To configure AppleTalk routing information filtering for incoming (or
outgoing) route filters, complete the following steps:
1 Load FILTCFG, then select the following parameter path:
Select Configure AppleTalk Filters > Incoming Route Filters (or
Outgoing Route Filters )
2 Select Action and toggle the choice to permit or deny the routes listed in
the filter list.
This specifies the action taken with a route that appears in the filter list.
If you select to permit routes, the AppleTalk router accepts (or advertises)
only the routes from (or to) the networks in the filter list. If you select to
deny routes, the AppleTalk router does not accept (or advertise) specific
routes from (or to) specific networks in the filter list, but does accept (or
advertise) all other entries in the routing table.
3 Select Filters .
This lists the filters that are permitted or denied, according to the Action
parameter setting.
