Overview

IP filters are used to manage traffic and, in some cases, to provide security. Each filter set includes match conditions (a list of filter records defining the match criteria) and actions (forward, drop, prioritize, mirror, modify DS field, modify IEEE 802.1p priority, or prevent incoming TCP connections) to be performed when a match condition is satisfied. For more information about filters in general, refer to Networking Concepts for the Passport 8000 Series Switch.
