IPX NetBIOS and Packet Forwarding Filters
Configuring IPX Packet Forwarding
IPX packet forwarding filters allow the router to filter a packet according to
the source and destination address fields and the packet type. NetBIOS filters
allow the router to forward NetBIOS broadcast packets only on selected
interfaces.
NOTE:
IPX NetBIOS and packet forwarding filters work while using either NLSP or
RIP/SAP routing modes.
Before you begin, make sure that filtering support is enabled for IPX in
NIASCFG. Otherwise, filtering will not work.
To configure IPX packet forwarding filters, complete the following steps:
1
Load FILTCFG, then select the following parameter path:
Select Configure IPX Filters > NetBIOS and Packet Forwarding Filters
2
Select Status and toggle the choice to read Enabled or Disabled .
NOTE:
It might be easier to configure filters while they are disabled. Otherwise,
you might experience temporary service loss while you are adding and setting up
wildcard filters.

or deny the IPX NetBIOS packets on the listed interfaces.
