NAME
ipfilter - IP packet filtering software
IP Filter is software that provides packet filtering capabilities. On a properly setup system, it can be used to build a firewall.
The IP Filter feature requires that the file /etc/ipf/pfil.ap be modified to include the names of the network interface(s) to be filtered.
A system with filtering on the hme and qfe interfaces would have entries in /etc/ipf/pfil.ap such as those shown below.
# IP Filter pfil autopush setup
#
# See autopush(1M) manpage for more information.
#
# Format of the entries in this file is:
#
#major minor lastminor modules
#le -1 0 pfil
#qe -1 0 pfil
hme -1 0 pfil
qfe -1 0 pfil
