Applying LAN Filters
LAN traffic filter sets are useful to block certain packets, reduce traffic and
prevent security breaches. Go to menu 3.1 (shown next) and enter the numbers of
the filter sets that you want to apply, as appropriate. You can choose up to four
filter sets (from twelve) by entering their numbers separated by commas, for
example., 3, 4, 6, 11. Input filter sets filter incoming traffic to the BCM50a
Integrated Router and output filter sets filter outgoing traffic from the BCM50a
Integrated Router.
Figure 64 Filtering LAN Traffic
Applying Remote Node Filters
Go to menu 11.1.4 (shown in Figure 65 – note that call filter sets are only present
for PPPoE encapsulation) and enter the numbers of the filter sets, as appropriate.
You can cascade up to four filter sets by entering their numbers separated by
commas. The BCM50a Integrated Router already has filters to prevent NetBIOS
traffic from triggering calls, and to block incoming Telnet, FTP and HTTP
connections. For
PPPoE or PPPoA encapsulation, you have the additional option
of specifying remote node call filter sets.
