Well I'm playing around again... I am attempting to install a user filter to suppress the flow of CIFS (SMB) communications through the HiPer ARC. My intent is to control the filters behavior by way of RADIUS and the Framed-Filter-Id= reply item. I understand the technology portion of it but getting the nuances is kinda slowing me down. I understand I need to create a named filter (In this case I named it NOCIFS) which I have managed to do with HARM. This is the filter. #filter IP: 1 REJECT udp-src-port = 137; 2 REJECT udp-src-port = 138; 3 REJECT udp-src-port = 139; I'm making the assumption that unlike many routers you may selectively Reject without having to allow everything else again. According to the minimal documentation I've found there has to be a NOCIFS.IN and a NOCIFS.OUT file in the ARC for this to work. HARM however does not allow you to create a named filter with an extension. Does it create an in and an out automagically?? Or how does one do this??? In other words, how does HARM differentiate an In from an Out??? I'm fairly sure I can fool around with the CLI and get this to fly but the HARM should be able to handle it. Anyway, am I even close to getting this to run <grin>....
