I have been looking through the Bay Networks MIB specification to see how
to filter outbound packets. I understand the concept of filtering
outbound packets, but am unable to use their site manager program to
implement the filters. I know where to look in the mib, but the MIB
specification says, "a binary representation of the filter" here and does
not elaborate. If it were a cisco, I could easily filter our outbound
traffic. If any of you have access to a bay networks router that is not
in production, please consider creating some sample filters so I can
figure out how to create my own. or if you have a batch file that does
it, that would be nice too.
Thanks in advance.
