Important Considerations

■When you assign a packet filter to one or more ports, you must assign a processing path. The path (transmit all, transmit multicast, receive all, receive multicast, or receive internal) of a port can have only one packet filter assigned to it; however, you can assign a single packet filter to multiple paths and ports.

■If you try to assign a filter to a port that already has a filter assigned, the system displays a warning message and the assignment fails.

■After you assign the filter, ports and paths are removed from the list of possible values (which are listed in the Options table).

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

■Possible values for bridge ports (n) depend on the number of existing bridge ports on the system.
