REATING AND SING ACKET
After you have corrected all errors and saved the packet filter, it is converted
to internal form and updated on the switching modules to which it is
assigned.
For filters edited with an external text editor, filter errors are checked when
the filter is loaded onto the module (see "Loading Packet Filters"). If errors
are detected when loading the filter, you must make corrections in the
external editor and try to load the filter again.
When you create packet filters using an external text editor, you must load
the filters onto a module from the network host on which you created
them. Once loaded, the packet filter definition is converted into the internal
format that is used by the packet filter code in the switching module.
To load a packet filter:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
bridge packetFilter load
2 Enter the packet filter id number.
You are prompted for a host IP address, file path name, user name, and
password. To use the value in brackets, press [Return] at any prompt.
3 Enter the host IP address.
4 Enter the path name.
5 Enter your user name.
6 Enter your password.
7 Enter the slot number(s).
The packet filter is loaded onto the LANplex system.
Any syntax errors in the packet filter definition are reported to you at this
time. See Appendix A: Packet Filter Opcodes, Examples, and Syntax Errors for a
description of these errors. If errors are detected, you are offered the option
of editing the filter definition or terminating the load.
