LAN-filter-table

Entries in the LAN filter table make it possible to exclude specific service information ranges of a Novell network from being included in the SAP table and therefore to make better use of the resources of the IPX router. This also prevents unwanted connections from being established by these SAPs (services).

None of the service information located within a range of filters entered in the LAN filter table is transferred by the local network to the IPX router's SAP table. They are also not transferred to the remote station of the IPX router and therefore are also not available there.

For example, the service information for the printer server is often unnecessary for the remote station of the IPX router. If this information is to be excluded from the SAP table by means of the LAN filter table, the following entry is required:

Start service End service
030c 030c
