Filter Limits; Using Port Trunks With Filters; Filter Types And Operation - HP ProCurve 6400cl Series Access Security Manual

Filter Limits

The switch accepts up to 101 static filters. These limitations apply:
■ Source-port filters:
• 5300xl switches: Up to 78

■ Multicast filters (5300xl only): up to 16
Protocol filters (5300xl only): up to 7
■

Using Port Trunks with Filters

The switch manages a port trunk as a single source or destination for source-
port filtering. If you configure a port for filtering before adding it to a port
trunk, the port retains the filter configuration, but suspends the filtering action
while a member of the trunk. If you want a trunk to perform filtering, first
configure the trunk, then configure the trunk for filtering. Refer to "Config­
uring a Filter on a Port Trunk" on page 9-18.
