Viewing A Source-Port Filter - ProCurve 2610 Manual

Figure 10-3. Example of Switch Response to Adding a Filtered Source Port to a
Trunk

Viewing a Source-Port Filter

You can list all source-port filters configured in the switch and, optionally, the
detailed information on a specific filter.
Syntax: show filter
Displays a listing of configured filters, where each filter entry includes
an IDX (index) number, Filter Type, and Value :
IDX: An automatically assigned index number used to identify the filter
for a detailed information listing. A filter retains its assigned IDX
number for as long as the filter exists in the switch. The switch assigns
the lowest available IDX number to a new filter. This can result in a
newer filter having a lower IDX number than an older filter if a previous
(source-port) filter deletion created a gap in the filter listing.
Filter Type: Indicates the type of filter assigned to the IDX number.
Value: Indicates the port number or port-trunk name of the source port
or trunk assigned to the filter.
Use show filter to learn the index number of a specific filter you want to
examine in more detail.
Traffic/Security Filters
Using Source-Port Filters
The *5* shows that port 5 is
configured for filtering, but the
filtering action has been suspended
while the port is a member of a trunk.
If you want the trunk to which port 5
belongs to filter traffic, then you must
explicitly configure filtering on the
trunk.
Note: If you configure an existing
trunk for filtering and later add
another port to the trunk, the switch
will apply the filter to all traffic moving
on any link in the trunk. If you remove
a port from the trunk it returns to the
configuration it had before it was
added to the trunk
