The Active Network Access Filters table on the Network Filters page displays
currently defined filters. These filters control if access to the NSS from specified
hosts is granted or denied on a per-protocol basis. Each device in your network is
assigned a fixed 48-bit MAC address and changeable 32-bit IP address. When
you define a filter, it grants or denies access through the specified protocol from
the specified IP/MAC address or range of IP addresses.
When you define a new filter, any existing connections that would normally be
denied by this rule remain intact. These connections are denied during the next
attempt to connect to the NSS.
To add a network filter:
From the Manager Menu, click Access
The Network Filters page appears.
From the New Network Access Filter table, type the IP/MAC address to which
you are applying the filter, in the IP/MAC address field. You can also enter
