F ast Network 10 User Guide P age 5-1 CHAPTER 5 FN10 FILTER S One of the most significant features of the FN10 is its po werful user -configurable filtering capabilities. A filter is an instruction to the FN10 to screen data packets based on the criteria you define.
Chapter 5: FN10 Filters P age 5-2 F ast Network 10 User Guide • Multicast traf fic from any station (MA C layer address). Multicast packets are those destined for more than one address. Each source address can be assigned one of the follo wing restrictions: • Filter all packets from this source address.
Bridge Address T able Filter s F ast Network 10 User Guide P age 5-3 W ith the Bridge Address T able entry sho wn in T able 5-1, you can use any of the follo wing types of Bridge Address T able filtering: • Source address • Source address multicast • Destination address 5.
Chapter 5: FN10 Filters P age 5-4 F ast Network 10 User Guide 5.1.3 Destination Address Filter A destination address filter can be used to discard all traf fic destined to a specific MA C address. This type of filter is configured by setting a static address entry for the MA C address and specifying {null} as the port assignment.
P or t Filters F ast Network 10 User Guide P age 5-5 Like wise, you can assign an Exit port one of the following restrictions: • Only allo w a certain number of multicast packets e very “n” seconds and then stop transmitting. • Filter a packet destined for this port that matches all of the fields in the Port filter .
Chapter 5: FN10 Filters P age 5-6 F ast Network 10 User Guide For the fields defined as T rue , False , or Not A pplicable ( NA ) in the follo wing sections: • T rue – Means all traffic that matches the field will be filtered. • F alse – Means all traf fic that does not match the field selection will be filtered (in verse filter).
P or t Filters F ast Network 10 User Guide P age 5-7 For e xample, if you had the configuration sho wn belo w , the And operator assigned to Port 2 would apply to the ne xt instance of Port 2, not necessarily the next sequential filter number in the Port Filter T able index.
Chapter 5: FN10 Filters P age 5-8 F ast Network 10 User Guide Source Range Star t The star ting MAC address f or the source range of MA C addresses. If you are filtering on a single source address, enter that address here . Source Range End Ending MA C address f or the source range of MA C addresses.
P or t Filters F ast Network 10 User Guide P age 5-9 Field Origin Either TYPE , IP , MAC, or SR (see Field Offset description). The or igin is the field from which the offset count star ts. TYPE Field Offset The decimal offset of the por tion of the pack et to be e xamined.
Chapter 5: FN10 Filters P age 5-10 F ast Network 10 User Guide When adding or modifying a filter , you must enter both a Sour ce Range Start v alue and a Sour ce Range End v alue.
Using Filters f or Security Purposes F ast Network 10 User Guide P age 5-11 Figure 5-1 Using Filters to Restrict Access to an Adjoining Network Segment FN10 Engineering Subnet LAN 2 Accounting Subnet .
Chapter 5: FN10 Filters P age 5-12 F ast Network 10 User Guide The company w ants to allow Engineering and Accounting workstations to access resources on the Manufacturing subnet ( LAN 1 ), b ut wants to pre vent users on the Engineering subnet ( LAN 2 ) from accessing resources on the Accounting subnet ( LAN 3 ).
Using Filters f or Security Purposes F ast Network 10 User Guide P age 5-13 Example 2: Blocking Access to Specific Stations In this example, a compan y uses a FN10 to connect two LANs (see Figure 5-2). Three workstations on LAN 2 (the Accounting Subnet) contain sensiti ve data (w orkstations F , G, and H).
Chapter 5: FN10 Filters P age 5-14 F ast Network 10 User Guide This information is used to configure the filter as follo ws: • Filter identifier – port number of the port attached to LAN 2 as a destination. • Filter fields – destination address F-H (range, match) source LAN = 1 (match).
Using Filters f or Security Purposes F ast Network 10 User Guide P age 5-15 Example 3: Restricting Access to A uthorized Users The example sho wn in Figure 5-3 is very similar to the pre vious e xample. The dif ference is that access to workstations F , G, and H will not be denied to all LAN 1 users.
Chapter 5: FN10 Filters P age 5-16 F ast Network 10 User Guide Note that the FN10 is not storing information designed to identify restricted de vices or authorized or unauthorized users.
