Creating IP Filter policy rules

A maximum of 256 rules can be created for an IP Filter policy. The change to the specified IP Filter policy
is not saved to the persistent configuration until a save or activate sub-command is run.
To add a rule to an IP Filter policy:
1. Log in to the switch using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Issue the following command:
ipfilter --addrule <policyname> -rule <rule_number> -sip <source IP> -dp <dest
port> -proto <protocol> -act <permit | deny>
where:
policyname
-rule rule number
-sip source IP
-dp destination port Specifies the destination port number, or a range of port numbers,
-proto protocol
-act <permit | deny> Specifies the permit or deny action associated with this rule.

Deleting IP Filter policy rules

Deleting a rule in the specified IP Filter policy causes the rules following the deleted rule to shift up in rule
order. The change to the specified IP Filter policy is not saved to persistent configuration until a save or
activate sub-command is run.
To delete a rule to an IP Filter policy:
1. Log in to the switch using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Issue the following command:
ipfilter –-delrule <policyname> -rule <rule number>

Switch session transactions

A transaction is associated with a command line or manageability session. It is opened implicitly when the
create,
-- --
--transabort, --save, or --activate subcommands explicitly end the transaction owned by the
current command line or manageability session. If a transaction is not ended, other command line or
manageability sessions are blocked on the sub-commands that would open a new transaction.

Aborting a switch session transaction

To abort a transaction associated with IP Filter:
1. Log in to the switch using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Issue the following command:
ipfilter –-transabort

IP Filter policy distributions

The IP Filter policy is manually distributed, using the distribute --p "IPFILTER" command. The
distribution includes both active and defined IP Filter policies. All policies are combined as a single entity
to be distributed and cannot be selectively distributed. However, you may choose the time at which to

Specifies the policy name, which is a unique string composed of a
maximum of 20 alphanumeric and underscore characters. The

Filter policies. The policy name is case-insensitive and always stored
as lower case.
Specifies a valid rule number between 1 and the current maximum
rule number plus one.
Specifies the source IP address. For IPv4 filter type, the address must
be a 32-bit address in dot decimal notation, or a CIDR block IPv4
prefix. For IPv6 filter type, the address must be a 128-bit IPv6
address in any format specified by RFC, or a CIDR block IPv6
prefix.
