C H A P T E R 2 | Configuring and Managing the Switch |
NOTE
Source ports start with port 1. Destination ports start with port 0, which is the internal SNMP management port.
Use custom filters to control where the switch forwards packets from a given MAC address. Custom filters override VLANs. This is useful when you want a device to talk to devices outside of its VLAN.
Filters are defined for a set of ports. For example, you can set a custom filter that tells the switch to forward packets received on ports 3 and 4 to ports 6 and 7.
To set a custom filter
1Determine the MAC address of the device you’re applying the filter to.
2Determine the switch ports where the device’s packets will arrive. These are the source ports.
3Determine the switch ports where the device’s packets will be forwarded. These are the destination ports.
4Use the Custom Filter Port Tables in Appendix A to find the source and destination port hexadecimal equivalents.
5Type the command:
This custom filter would send packets from the device with MAC address
