Adding or Inserting Filter Rules

Lower rule numbers filter first, so rule number sequence is very important. Because PMVision assigns rule numbers in order of rule creation, plan your filters carefully before configuring rules in PMVision.

To add or insert a filter rule, follow these steps:

  1. In the Configure==>Filters==>Filter Name==>Rules display, click Add. A dialog box appears.

  2. Select PERMIT to allow or DENY to block packets that match the filter, and click OK. The new rule with default settings appears. If you are inserting, the new rule appears above the existing rule, and the existing rule and subsequent rules are renumbered.
  3. To view or modify the default settings, select (highlight) the new rule and click Edit. A configuration panel for the rule appears.
  4. Add or modify settings and click Save. A confirmation dialog appears.
  5. Confirm your changes to store the rules in the PortMaster nonvolatile RAM.
