Creating Packet
Filters
When displaying the contents of a single packet filter, you select the packet
filter using the filter id (which you can obtain by listing the packet filters
as described in the previous section). The packet filter instructions are
displayed; however, any comments in the original packet filter definition
file are not displayed since they are not saved with the packet filter.
To display the contents of a packet filter:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
bridge packetFilter display
You are prompted for the number of the packet filter you want to display.
2 Enter the packet filter id number.
The contents of the packet filter are displayed. An example of the output
generated by this command is shown below. The packet filter id and name
are displayed, followed by a listing of the packet filter instructions.
Select packet filter to be displayed [1-n]:
Packet filter 2 - Type > 900 or Multicast
name "Type > 900 or Multicast"

You create custom packet filters by writing a packet filter definition. Each
packet processing path on a port may have a unique packet filter definition
or may share a definition with other ports on the module. Packet filter
definitions consist of the packet filter language. This language allows you to
construct complex logical expressions.
After writing a packet filter definition, you load it into a LANplex system and
the corresponding port assignments are preserved in the nonvolatile
memory of the system. This ensures that the packet filter configuration for
each system is saved across system reboots or power failures.
