7210 SAS D, E OS Router Configuration Guide
Creating a filter policy is optional.
Associating a service with a filter policy is optional.
When a filter policy is configured, it should be defined as having either an exclusive scope
for one-time use, or a template scope meaning that the filter can be applied to multiple
SAPs.
A specific filter must be explicitly associated with a specific service in order for packets to
be matched.
A filter policy can consist of zero or more filter entry. Each entry represents a collection of
filter match criteria. When packets enter the ingress or egress ports, packets are compared
to the criteria specified within the entry or entries.
When a large (complex) filter is configured, it may take a few seconds to load the filter
policy configuration and be instantiated.
IP filters applied on an IES SAP cannot match against IP packets containing IP options.
The action keyword must be entered for the entry to be active. Any filter entry without the
action keyword will be considered incomplete and be inactive.
