Specifying a filter's forwarding action

For generic, IP, or IPX filters, each input or output filter in a local Filter profile specifies a

forwarding action for packets that match the filter. Following is the relevant parameter (shown

with its default settings):

Note: For Type of Service filters, the forwarding action has no effect. Those filters perform a

different type of action on matching packets.

In a RADIUS definition, you specify the action a filter takes as forward or drop. This

specification provides the same function as the Forward parameter in a local profile. The

following example shows an input filter whose forwarding action is to drop matching packets.

test-user Password="test-pw"

Ascend-Data Filter="ip in forward tcp dstport > 1023"

Filter profile

Input Filters...

In Filter (1-12)

Output Filters...

Out Filter (1-12)

The forwarding action for the filter. When no filters are in use, the

MAX unit forwards all packets by default. When a filter is in use,

the default is to discard matching packets (Forward=No).
