Filter characteristics

Filters on Passport routing switches have the following characteristics and requirements:

• Up to 1024 filter IDs can be defined, including source/destination and global filters. These filter IDs are system generated.
• Up to 128 filter lists can be defined, including source/destination and global filter lists.
• Source and destination filter lists must have an ID of 300 or greater.
• Global filter lists have an ID of 1 through 100.
• Source, destination, and global filter names do not have to be unique.
• A set of source/destination filters is defined in a list, and the list is applied to a port or set of ports. Multiple lists can be assigned to any given port.
• A set of global filters is defined in a list (not exceeding eight per list), and the list is applied to a port or set of ports. Multiple lists may be applied to a given port or set of ports, but the maximum number of global filters that can be enabled on a given port set is eight.
