4. Optionally, PortServer II may use
logpacket
and
passpacket
filters.
Logpacket
filters define IP packets that are logged for tracing.
Passpacket
filters define IP
packets that are passed over the connection. Information on how to create filters is
given later in this Chapter. To use these filters, enter the following command:
set user name=<username> LogPacket=<name> PassPacket=<name>
For example:
set user name=linda LogPacket=filter1 PassPacket=filter2
5. Optionally, you can configure PortServer II to drop the connection if there is no
activity for a defined period. To do this, enter the following commands:
set user name=<username> IdleTimeout=<timeout>
<timeout>
is the maximum period of inactivity before PortServer II drops the
connection. The following example will drop the connection if no packets are
detected for 100 seconds:
set user name=linda IdleTimeout=100
6.
Optionally, you can configure a
keepup
filter that restricts which packets restart
the idle timer. If no keepup filter is specified, all packets restart the Idle Timer. To
do this, enter the following command:
set user name=<username> Keepup=<filter_name>
<filter_name>
is the name of the
keepup
filter. Information on configuring
filters is given later in this Chapter. For example:
set user name=linda Keepup=filter3
Note:
The optional parameters in steps 4 and 6 could be combined with the main
configuration command in step 3 if you wish.
Verifying the incoming connection
When you have completed configuration of the incoming connection, verify that the
information you entered is correct by entering the following command:
wan verify=<username>
Check that you are returned directly to the command line prompt. If there are any
errors in the configuration, more details are displayed.
