<h1 class="topictitle1">IP packet header</h1>
<div><p>You can create filter rules to refer to various portions of IP,
TCP, UDP, and ICMP headers.</p>
<p>The following list includes the fields you refer to in a filter rule that
make up the IP packet header: </p>
<ul><li>Source IP address</li>
<li>Protocol (for example, TCP, UDP)</li>
<li>Destination IP address</li>
<li>Source port</li>
<li>Destination port</li>
<li>IP datagram direction (inbound, outbound, or both)</li>
<li>TCP SYN bit</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, you can create and activate a rule that filters a packet based
on the destination IP address, source IP address, and direction (inbound).
In this case, the system matches all incoming packets (according to their
origin and destination addresses) with corresponding rules. Then the system
takes the action that you specified in the rule. The system discards any packets
that are <em>not</em> permitted in your filter rules. This is called the default
deny rule.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The system applies the default deny rule to packets only if the physical
interface has at least one active rule. This rule can be customer-defined
or generated by iSeries™ Navigator.
Regardless of whether the filter rule permits inbound traffic or outbound
traffic, the system implements the default deny rule in both directions. If
there isn't a filter rule active on the physical interface, then the default
deny rule will not work.</div>
