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

Using Source-Port Filters

Configuring a Filter on a Port Trunk. This operation uses the same com- mand as that used for configuring a filter on an individual port. However, the configuration process requires two steps:

1.Configure the port trunk.

2.Configure a filter on the port trunk by using the trunk name (trk1, trk2,

...trk6) instead of a port name.

For example, to create a filter on port trunk 1 to drop traffic received inbound for trunk 2 and ports 10-15:

ProCurve(config)# filter source-port trk1 drop trk2,10-15

Note that if you first configure a filter on a port and then later add the port to a trunk, the port remains configured for filtering but the filtering action will be suspended while the port is a member of the trunk. That is, the trunk does not adopt filtering from the port configuration. You must still explicitly con- figure the filter on the port trunk. If you use the show filter < index > command for a filter created before the related source port was added to a trunk, the port number appears between asterisks ( * ), indicating that the filter action has been suspended for that filter. For example, if you create a filter on port 5, then create a trunk with ports 5 and 6, and display the results, you would see the following:

The *5* shows that port 5 is configured for filtering, but the filtering action has been suspended while the port is a member of a trunk.

If you want the trunk to which port 5 belongs to filter traffic, then you must explicitly configure filtering on the trunk.

Note: If you configure an existing trunk for filtering and later add another port to the trunk, the switch will apply the filter to all traffic moving on any link in the trunk. If you remove a port from the trunk it returns to the configuration it had before it was added to the trunk
