Applying a filter to an interface
After you create a filter, you can apply it to the interface as an input filter or an
output filter. A common question is “When do you use an input filter versus an
output filter?” In many cases, it does not make a difference. In complex
configurations with multiple interfaces, however, there is a benefit of one over the
other. For example, if you have a network with a host to which no one should be
allowed to telnet, you can apply an output filter to that interface to which the host
is connected that blocks Telnet packets from being transmitted to that host. Then
there is no need to apply this filter to the input of all other interfaces.
To apply a filter to an interface:
1
In the Interfaces area, select an interface and then click Filters.
The <interface name> Filter Configuration dialog box opens
