Operating Rules for Source-Port Filters

You can configure one source-port filter for each physical port or port
■
trunk on the switch.
■ Each source-port filter you configure is composed of:
• One source port or port trunk (trk1, trk2, ...trk6)
• A set of destination ports and/or port trunks that includes all LAN
ports and port trunks on the switch
• An action for each destination port or port trunk
When you create a source-port filter, the switch automatically sets the
filter to forward traffic from the designated source to all destinations for
which you do not specifically configure a "drop" action. Thus, it is not
necessary to configure a source-port filter for traffic you want the switch
to forward unless the filter was previously configured to drop the desired
traffic.
