Available Access Filters
When you configure network filters, determine which protocols can or cannot access the NSS. To
display the list of available filters, click the drop-down arrow next to the
Filter
field on the
Network
Filters
page.
NOTE:
Rejecting versus Dropping Traffic:
When incoming traffic matches a "reject" filter,
the NSS drops the traffic and then sends a notice to the initiating system of the denial
of service. When incoming traffic matches a "drop" filter, the NSS drops the traffic
but no notice is sent to the initiating system.
•
Allow All:
This is the default filter. It tells the NSS to accept traffic via all supported protocols.
•
Allow CIFS:
Allow CIFS filesharing access.
•
Allow FTP:
Allow FTP and FTPS access.
•
Allow HTTP:
Allow access to the NSS configuration interface via a Web browser.
•
Allow NFS:
Allow NFS access.
•
Reject CIFS:
Do not allow CIFS filesharing access. The NSS informs the system initiating the
connection about the denial of service.
•
Reject FTP:
Do not allow FTP or FTPS traffic. The NSS informs the system initiating the
connection about the denial of service.
•
Reject HTTP:
Do not allow access to the NSS configuration interface via a Web browser. The
NSS informs the system initiating the connection about the denial of service.
