Important Considerations

■On the CoreBuilder 3500, before you use the packetFilter load command, select the required file transfer protocol (TFTP or FTP) using the system fileTransfer command.

■On the CoreBuilder 3500, this single command transfers a file from another host and loads it in a one-step process.

■On the CoreBuilder 9000, loading a filter from another host is a two- step process. You must first download the packet filter source file to the Enterprise Management Engine (EME) using TFTP, then connect to the Layer 3 module, then enter this bridge packetFilter load command.

The syntax of the EME download command is:

download module <slot.subslot> filter <IP address> <filename>

You must use TFTP to download on the CoreBuilder 9000. FTP does not work.

When you enter bridge packetFilter load, the CoreBuilder 9000 does not prompt you for any options. Instead, the module simply looks for the downloaded filter on the EME. If it finds it, it loads it. If it does not find it, it prints the message Filter not found.

■TFTP or FTP hosts may place restrictions on which files and pathnames are valid. See your host administrator or host documentation for TFTP and FTP information.

■bridge packetFilter load verifies the syntax of the filter. If the syntax is correct, it stores the filter into non-volatile memory. If the syntax is incorrect, you are prompted to enter the built-in editor so that you can fix the filter.
