Policy and Entry Maintenance Commands
copy
Syntax
copy {ip-filter | ipv6-filter | mac-filter} source-filter-id dest-filter-id dest-filter-id [overwrite]
Context
config>filter
Description
This command copies existing filter list entries for a specific filter ID to another filter ID. The copy
command is a configuration level maintenance tool used to create new filters using existing filters. It
also allows bulk modifications to an existing policy with the use of the overwrite keyword.
If overwrite is not specified, an error will occur if the destination policy ID exists.
Parameters
ip-filter — Indicates that the source-filter-id and the dest-filter-id are IP filter IDs.
ipv6-filter — This keyword indicates that the source-filter-id and the dest-filter-id are IPv6 filter IDs.
mac-filter — Indicates that the source-filter-id and the dest-filter-id are MAC filter IDs.
source-filter-id — The source-filter-id identifies the source filter policy from which the copy
dest-filter-id — The dest-filter-id identifies the destination filter policy to which the copy command
overwrite — The overwrite keyword specifies that the destination filter ID may exist. If it does,

command will attempt to copy. The filter policy must exist within the context of the preceding
keyword (ip-filter, ipv6-filter or mac-filter).
will attempt to copy. If the overwrite keyword does not follow, the filter policy ID cannot
already exist within the system for the filter type the copy command is issued for. If the
overwrite keyword is present, the destination policy ID may or may not exist.
everything in the existing destination filter ID will be completely overwritten with the contents of
the source filter ID. If the destination filter ID exists, either overwrite must be specified or an
error message will be returned. If overwrite is specified, the function of copying from source to
destination occurs in a 'break before make' manner and therefore should be handled with care.
