Applying IP packet filtering rules to a PPP connection

You can use a packet rules file to restrict the access of a user or a group to IP addresses on your network.

The IP filtering and network address translation topic in the Information Center discusses how to create IP packet rules that you can reference for a PPP connection profile.

You can see existing IP Packet filtering rules in two ways:

• Connection profile level

  1. When you complete the Point-to-Point Properties for a Receiver Connection Profile, select the TCP/IP Settings page, and click Advanced.

  2. Check Use IP packet rules for this connection, and select a PPP filter identifier from the list.

  3. Click OK to apply the PPP filter to the connection profile.

• User level

  1. Open an existing group access policy or create a new group access policy.

  2. Click the TCP/IP Settings page.

  3. Check Use IP packet rules for this connection, and select a PPP filter identifier from the list.

  4. Click OK to apply the PPP filter.
