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

Using Source-Port Filters

Viewing a Source-Port Filter

You can list all source-port filters configured in the switch and, optionally, the detailed information on a specific filter.

Syntax: show filter

Displays a listing of configured filters, where each filter entry includes an IDX (index) number, Filter Type, and Value :

IDX: An automatically assigned index number used to identify the filter for a detailed information listing. A filter retains its assigned IDX number for as long as the filter exists in the switch. The switch assigns the lowest available IDX number to a new filter. This can result in a newer filter having a lower IDX number than an older filter if a previous (source-port) filter deletion created a gap in the filter listing.

Filter Type: Indicates the type of filter assigned to the IDX number.

Value: Indicates the port number or port-trunk name of the source port or trunk assigned to the filter.

Use show filter to learn the index number of a specific filter you want to examine in more detail.

[ index ]

Displays detailed data on the filter designated by the index number. For source-port filters, the display includes the source-port number, a listing of all ports and/or trunks on the switch (with their port types), and the filter action configured on each port or trunk (Forward—the default—or Drop).

For example, assume that these three filters exist on the switch:

Source Port

Destination Action

16-7 Drop; Forward on all other ports/trunks

28-9 Drop; Forward on all other ports/trunks
