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.
Each filter policy must consist of at least one 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 and initiate
the filter policy configuration.
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.
