Traffic/Security Filters (ProCurve Series 2600/2600-PWR and 2800 Switches)

Using Source-Port Filters

Using Source-Port Filters

This feature is available only on the Series 2600, 2600-PWR, and 2800 switches.

Operating Rules for Source-Port Filters

You can configure one source-port filter for each physical port or port trunk on the switch.

Each source-port filter you configure is composed of:

One source port or port trunk (trk1, trk2, ...trk6)

A set of destination ports and/or port trunks that includes all LAN ports and port trunks on the switch

An action for each destination port or port trunk

When you create a source-port filter, the switch automatically sets the filter to forward traffic from the designated source to all destinations for which you do not specifically configure a "drop" action. Thus, it is not necessary to configure a source-port filter for traffic you want the switch to forward unless the filter was previously configured to drop the desired traffic.
