Setting Up

You use the Filter Configuration utility (FILTCFG) to configure filters that selectively control which packets will be sent or received by a router. Filters let you control the service and route information that is accepted or advertised by a router.

Filters can be useful when you want to limit specific kinds of traffic to certain parts of your network topology, or when you want to provide a certain level of security.
