You can configure the networking devices of your ClearPath MCP complex to filter unwanted traffic and prevent it from reaching the MCP environment. The types of filtering you can implement include the following:
-
Filtering on transmission control protocol (TCP) or user datagram protocol (UDP) port numbers; see Filtering Broadcast Traffic for details.
-
Filtering out broadcast traffic; see Filtering Broadcast Traffic for details.
-
IPv6 protocol filtering, which stops IPv6 networking traffic without affecting IPv4 networking traffic; see IPv6 Protocol Filtering for details.
