Filter Policies
Router Configuration Guide 597
Copying Filter Policies
When changes are to be made to an existing filter policy applied to a one or more SAPs/
network interfaces, it is recommended to first copy the applied filter policy, then modify the 
copy and then overwrite the applied policy with the modified copy. This ensures that a policy 
being modified is not applied when partial changes are done as any filter policy edits are 
applied immediately to all services where the policy is applied.
New filter policies can also be created by copying an existing policy and renaming the new 
filter. 
The following displays the command usage to copy an existing IP filter (11) to create a new 
filter policy (12) that can then be edited. And once edits are completed, it can be used to 
overwrite existing policy (11). 
Example: config>filter# copy ip-filter 11 to 12
A:ALA-7>config>filter# info
