If you have uploaded the Filter telnet/console your Pipe: Ethernet Connections 20-101 myISP # The WANconnection where the Filter should be (don't try your Ethernetinterface) Session options... Data Filter=101 # Filter position (mostly the first of three) Save it and reboot the Pipe to make your changes take place. > > When the router boots, it seems like the changes never took place.

No. The SAM produces a "binary" Format of your Rules when you upload it to your Pipe. Conversion back to it is not possible. If you have a tftp-server you may dump your Pipesettings to it <ctrl-d>"D" + "tsave <tftp_ip_address> <filename>" Hope this helps Regards H.Schroeder Hartmut Schroeder MMS Communication AG mailto:hacko at mms.de Eiffestrasse 598 http://www.mms.de/~hacko 20537 Hamburg, Germany Phone: +49 40 211105-40 Fax: +49 40 210 32 210 UTM 32U0569835 5934083 WGS84 ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq>
