This chapter provides guidelines and other key information about how to administer bridge packet filters in your system, including the following tasks: Independently configurable packet filtering is provided for the packet processing paths on each bridge port of the system. After you create a packet filter, you can assign the filter to the transmit or the receive paths of any bridge port or group of bridge ports.

Important Consideration 3900 9300 On the CoreBuilder 3500, you cannot modify the port number (router port-based routing) after it has been defined because of the associated virtual LAN (VLAN); you must remove the interface and then redefine it.
Before you remove the interface, remove any static entries in the routing table or the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache. On the CoreBuilder 3500, if you remove a router port-based IP interface, the system removes the virtual LAN (VLAN) that is associated with it as well.

Advertisement addresses are handled differently based on RIP-1 and RIP-2. For the CoreBuilder 3500, each interface that you define initially uses the default broadcast address (255.255.255.255) as the advertisement address. With RIP-1 updates, the address that you specify becomes the new RIP-1 advertisement address if you change the broadcast address.

This chapter provides guidelines and other key information about how to set up roving analysis in your system, including the following tasks: Roving analysis is the mirroring of traffic on one port to another port of the same media type. The analyzer port typically has a network analyzer or RMON probe attached through which you can watch the network traffic.
