IP Routing Information Filter Example
Metric Value —Enter a metric or cost associated with the route.
This option is enabled only if the filter is configured to permit or
advertise the route. If you leave this option blank, the TCP/IP routing
table is consulted automatically for the required information.
Comment —Enter an optional short description.
Logging —Optionally select Enabled to log packets that match the
Filters or Exceptions definitions.
The header of packets that match the Filters or Exceptions
definitions are logged as long as the global logging status and this
logging status are both enabled. The logs are viewed using the
NetWare Administrator utility.

Select Exceptions .
This lists the exceptions to the configured route filter list. Depending on
the Action parameter setting, packets that match a filter on this list are
always or are never permitted or denied, even if another filter is
configured to do the opposite.

Modify the exceptions list.
Select a filter from the list and press Enter to modify the filter or Del to
remove it. Press Ins to add a new filter. Refer to Step 5 and Step 6 if you
are adding or modifying a filter.

Filters menu.
In this example, the Accounting department is connected to the FDDI
backbone by Router C. One of the networks within Accounting is 151.1.0.0
(subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). Because access to this network from outside
the Accounting department is not required, the administrator has selected not
to propagate a route to this network outside the Accounting department.
To hide network 151.1.0.0 from the rest of the organization, an outgoing RIP
filter is configured on Router C.
Because IP supports RIP, OSPF, and EGP, routing filters must always specify
the routing protocol for which the filter applies. In this case, RIP is used by all
routers in the organization, and a RIP routing information filter is configured.
