IP, MAC, and VLAN Filter Entry Commands
action
Syntax action [drop]
action forward [next-hop {ip-address | indirect ip-address}] [fc fc-name [priority low | high]]
no action
Context config>filter>ip-filter>entry
config>filter>mac-filter>entry
Description This command specifies what action to take (drop or forward) when packets match the entry criteria.
The action keyword must be entered for the entry to be active. If neither drop nor forward is
specified, the filter action is drop.
The action forward next-hop keywords cannot be applied to multicast traffic and only apply to IPv4.
The action forward fc keywords only apply to IPv4.
Multiple action statements entered will overwrite previous action statements when defined.
The no form of the command removes the specified action statement. The filter entry is considered
incomplete and is rendered inactive without the action keyword.
Default
no action
Parameters drop — specifies that packets matching the entry criteria will be dropped
forward — specifies that packets matching the entry criteria will be forwarded
next-hop ip-address — specifies the IPv4 address of the direct next hop to which packets
indirect ip-address — specifies the IPv4 address of the indirect next hop to which packets
fc fc-name — specifies the forwarding class (FC) to be used for queuing packets through the
7705 SAR OS Router Configuration Guide
matching the entry criteria will be forwarded
matching the entry criteria will be forwarded. The direct next-hop IPv4 address and egress IP
interface are determined by a route table lookup.
If the next hop is not available, then a routing lookup is performed and if a match is found
then the packet will be forwarded to the result of that lookup. If no match is found, then an
"ICMP destination unreachable" message is send back to the origin.
Values
0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 (dotted-decimal notation)
7705 SAR. Each FC can be mapped to a different queue, or multiple FCs can be handled by
the same queue.
There are eight forwarding classes, providing different classes of service. The forwarding
classes are: nc (network control), h1 (high 1), ef (expedited forwarding), h2 (high 2), l1 (low
1), l2 (low 2), af (assured forwarding), be (best effort).
Values be, l2, af, l1, h2, ef, h1, nc
