Creating an AppleTalk Name-Binding Protocol (NBP) Filter

The NBP performs a conversion from named AppleTalk entities to their AppleTalk protocol addresses. Multiple names can exist for the same entity (alias). NBP also performs:

• Name registration
• Name deletion
• Name lookup
• Name confirmation

NBP allows you to bind a name to the internal storage address for your entity and register this mapping so that other entities can look it up. You can display NBP names to users and use addresses internally to locate entities. When you register your entity's name and address pair, NBP validates its uniqueness.

An NBP Filter prevents hosts on one or more interfaces from accessing hosts or services beyond that interface.

You can create an NBP Filter using either the Web Agent or the CLI.
