Network Filters Overview
In addition to providing storage for your data, the NSS provides a configurable
firewall to protect that data. Defining network filters lets you specify which
network hosts have access to the NSS via the various supported protocols.
To view the network filters:
STEP 1
From the Manager Menu, click Access
Network.
The Network Filters page appears.
STEP 2
You can do any of the following:
•
Set the default network policy to control what happens to traffic not
explicitly covered by defined filters. See the
”Defining the Default Network
Policy” section on page 88
.
•
View or delete the existing filters defined for the NSS from the Active
Network Access Filters table. See the
”Network Filters Overview” section
on page 87
.
•
Create a new filter based on an IP or MAC address or a range of IP
addresses. See the
”Creating a Network Filter” section on page 89
.
