Important Considerations

■The built-in editor is a simple one-line-at-a-time editor that supports a short list of EMACS-style editing commands.

■The system displays the editor commands that you use to edit the packet filters. You can edit packet filter language statements that define the packet filter algorithm. See the Implementation Guide for your system for information about developing the packet filters.

■Save your work periodically with Ctrl+w. To complete the editing process, press Esc. The system replaces the filter or creates a new filter, depending on your response to the prompts.

■When you exit, the system examines the filter’s syntax. If the syntax is correct, the filter is loaded into the switch’s non-volatile memory.

■Possible values for filters (n) depend on the number of created or loaded filters on the system.
