Current IP Filters workspace

The Current IP Filters workspace displays the currently active IP filters in use by a monitored TCP/IP stack on a z/OS(R) system image.

One of the ways to display the Current IP Filters workspace is to right-click the IP Filters navigator item for a specific TCP/IP stack, select workspaces and select the Current IP Filters link.

Summary information is displayed in the Current IP Filters In Scan Order Summary table. See Current IP Filters In Scan Order Summary table for a list of other workspaces that can be accessed by clicking the Link icon in the Summary table.

There can be tens of thousands of IP Filters. The query filter implemented for this workspace retrieves up to 500 IP Filters at a time.

The Tivoli Enterprise Portal displays 100 rows of IPSec Filters at a time. Use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal scrolling controls or change the page number at the top right of the table view to see the remaining IP Filters from the current set of up to 500 IP Filters.

If more than 500 IP Filters exist, a link named Current IP Filters In Scan Order By Next Page will be provided in the right-click menu of the Link icons for each row in the Current IP Filters in Scan Order table view. Use this link to display each successive group of 500 IP Filters. When no more IP Filters are available for display, the link will not appear in the right click menu. If you have already used the Current IP Filters In Scan Order By Next Page link to display additional IP Filters, another link named Current IP Filters In Scan Order By Previous Page can be used to return to the previous set of 500 IP Filters.

The Current IP Filters workspace contains the following views:

The filters are displayed in the order that they would be scanned by the TCP/IP stack when it compares them to packets. The first 500 filters are displayed. Additional filters may be displayed by using the Current IP Filters In Scan Order By Next Page link defined for each row.
