2945.0. "Switch900 filter problems" by COMICS::REYNOLDS (Mad Dogs and Englishmen) Thu Nov 02 1995 13:01

    
    I'd like to raise a couple of problems I've seen setting up address
    filtering on the DECswitch900EF:
    
    
    1. If I create a filter with blocking on all ports, click OK then
       refresh, its fine. Then, I delete it and re-create it, this time
       with only say ports 2 and 3 blocked, then OK and refresh. If I then 
       modify that filter to block all ports, thats fine until I refresh  
       -the filter then reverts to blocking on ports 2 and 3 again. 
    
    
    2. There's just no way to block the broadcast address on all 7 ports - 
       they revert back to green again. But you can do it on up to 6 of the 7.
    
    
    I'm running Bridge code 1.5.2, MAM code 4.1 and Hubwatch for OSF 
    v4.1.1
    
    nothing intentional here is there?
    
    thanks,
