Creating Packet Filters
12-17
Combining All the Filters.
Together, the four packet filters work to
perform the solution to the problem: filtering the broadcast packets from
the market data servers. These steps show how to create this filter:
1
Name the filter:
“Discard XNS & IP pkts w/in socket range”
2
Perform steps 2 through 4 as described in “Packet Filter One” on page 12-14.
3
Perform steps 2 through 8 as described in “Packet Filter Two” on page 12-15.
4
Add an
and
statement to compare the results of step 2 and the results of
step 3:
and # compare if XNS & in range
5
Perform steps 2 through 4 as described in “Combining a Subset of the
Filters” on page 12-16.
6
Add an
or
statement:
or # determine if the type field is either XNS or IP
7
Add a
not
statement to discard any matching packets:
not # discard if (IP & in range) & (XNS & in range)
The complete packet filter that discards IP and XNS packets that are within
the specified range is shown on page 12-13.
Tools for Writing
a Filter
You can create a new packet filter using either an ASCII-based text editor
(such as
EMACS
or
vi
) or the line editor built into the Administration
Console. Using an ASCII-based text editor allows you to create multiple
copies of the packet filter definition, which you can then copy onto one or
more Switch 2200 systems from a networked workstation. This method also
allows you to archive copies of filter definitions.
Using the Built-in Line Editor
The built-in text editor provides a minimal set of editing functions that you
can use to edit a packet filter definition one line at a time. A single line is
limited to no more than 79 characters. The number of lines is limited only
by available memory.
