Configuring Enterprise Edge Services 213P0911588 Issue 01 Enterprise Edge 2.0 Programming Operations GuideAdding RIP filters for IPX routingRIP is the routing protocol that routes IPX data packets in an internetworkenvironment. IPX Router Manager (Windows NT 4.0 routing management entity)is responsible for IPX routing operation. You can configure IPX packet filters forinbound or outbound traffic on interface handling IPX packets. You must configurethe IPX RIP parameters from the IPX heading of the navigation tree (ConfiguringIPX Routing on page 208).Note: The IPX router manager in your Enterprise Edge system operates separatelyfrom the IP routing manager. As a result, RIP configuration under the IPRouting heading has no effect on IPX routing. You must configure IPX RIPparameters under the IPX Routing heading.To add a RIP filter for IPX routing:1. Choose Services, IPX Routing and click on the interface you want toconfigure.2. On the Configuration menu click Add RIP Input Filter or Add RIP OutputFilter.3. Use the table below to set your RIP Input or Output filter parameters for IPXrouting:4.

You cannot set a filter action for a specificfilter. When you have decided which action the routing manager must performon packets matching a filter definition, the routing manager performs thisaction every time it finds a match between packets and filters.Attribute DescriptionInput Filter (IF#) Allows you to give a number to the input filter you are creating.Output Filter(OF#)Allows you to give a number to the output filter you are creating.Network Number Allows you to enter the network number that identifies the IPX network. Avalid entry is any 4-byte hexadecimal number.Network Mask Allows you to enter the network mask to be applied to the source address.This parameter defines the range of network numbers that you want to filter.
