GigaSwitch Filters

The GigaSwitch Filters icon subview allows the user to configure Port Matrices, Destination Filters, SAP Filters, SNAP Filters, and Source Filters. These port matrices and filters can be configured to restrict traffic from certain ports to a portion of the network, to isolate a device while troubleshooting or to improve performance between ports by establishing a path for the packets traveling between those ports.
