➧packetFilter

To edit a packet filter using the Switch 2200 system line editor:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

bridge packetFilter edit

2Enter the packet filter id number.

Specifying a filter id loads that filter into the edit buffer.

3Edit the filter. For more information, see the section “Using the Built-in Line Editor” on page 12-17.

4Press [Esc] to exit the line editor.

5At the Edit buffer has been changed. Quit anyway? prompt, enter y (yes) to end the editing session or n (no) to return to editing.

6You have three choices of what to do next:

■To overwrite the existing filter with the contents of the edit buffer, enter

y at the Replace existing filter? prompt.

Correcting errors in a packet filter

■To store the definition as a new filter, enter n at the Replace

existing filter? prompt and y at the Store as new filter? prompt. The packet filter is assigned a number.

■To exit from the editor without saving changes, enter n at both prompts.

When you save a packet filter edited with the built-in text editor, the system checks the syntax of the filter definition. If any errors are detected, the errors are displayed and the editor is re-entered at the line containing the first error. After correcting the errors, you must exit the editor and attempt to save the packet filter again.

After you have corrected all errors and saved the packet filter, it is converted to internal form and updated on the system.
