Traffic filters (source and destination)
Source filters must specify a source IP address and mask. Destination filters must specify a destination IP address and mask. The minimum mask length is eight bits. A source or destination filter can cause the following actions to be applied to a packet that matches the filter record:
- Forward the packet when the filter is applied with a forward action.
- Drop the packet when the filter is applied with a drop action.
- Mirror the packet to the defined mirror port.
- Match the DS field.
- Modify the DS codepoint (only on DiffServ access ports).
- Modify IEEE 802.1p.
