The
Network Filters
page appears.
STEP 2
From the
Default Network Policy
drop-down menu, click one of the following:
•
Accept Traffic
: Allow the NSS to communicate with all initiating hosts.
Select this option if you have a limited number of systems that you want to
disallow. When you set up your individual filters, select those filters that
"disallow" (i.e., drop or reject) certain types of connections. For example, you
might want to disallow CIFS connections but allow all other types.
•
Drop Traffic
: Disallow the NSS from communicating with any initiating
systems. Select this option if you have a limited number of systems that you
want to allow to communicate with the NSS. When you set up your filters,
select those filters that "allow" certain types of connections. For example,
you might only want to allow FTP connections.
NOTE
If you set the default policy to
Drop
and you want to enable FTP connections, make
sure you set the FTP connection type on the host to "active". (If you set the
connection type to "passive" you can connect to the NSS but are not able to list,
transfer the data, and so on.)
