the name as a wildcard designates any number of characters.

with sh. The name may be up to 47 characters.
♦ Action – Defines whether the indicated packets are to be forwarded (permit) or blocked
(denied) when the current filter entry conditions are met. This parameter is used to fine-tune
other filter entries.
For example, a filter entry can be set to block all SAP messages with a network pattern
starting with 123, and set another filter entry to permit all SAP messages with a
network pattern starting with 1234. all SAP messages with a network pattern starting
with 123 that do not have 4 as the fourth digit are blocked.
The default is forward, but the default can be set by creating a general filter entry with
the network mask 00000000, and setting it to permit or deny.
