Re: Anyone familiar with the IP packet filtering rules on IBM i ?

Go into Navigator and use the wizards. The online help there is also better. Its under network->ip policies->packet rules.
A named set would look something like this. You can then use test as the address in your filter.
ADDRESS test IP = 10.9.8.0 MASK = 255.255.248.0

Using LODIPFTR I have the IP address packet rules working just fine and can filter a full ip address like this:


Ex: SRCADDR = 1.1.1.1 or DSTADDR = 1.1.1.1


Is there a way to use some wildcarding to just filter mask on the first part of the IP address. In this example just the first two digits. This way I can filter to a particular network rather than down to the specific IP if the IP address changes:


Desired Filter Ex: SRCADDR = 1.1.0.0 or DSTADDR = 1.1.0.0


I tried this: 1.1.0.0/16 and it doesn't work. Also tried just: 1.1.0.0 and that doesn't work either. Only thing that seems to work is a specific IP address.


The docs are very basic.


Thoughts appreciated.
