You can enhance in-band security and improve control over access to network
resources by configuring static filters to forward (the default action) or drop
unwanted traffic. That is, you can configure a traffic filter to either forward
or drop all network traffic moving to outbound (destination) ports and trunks
(if any) on the switch.
