Traffic/Security Filters
Filter Types and Operation
ProCurve(config)# filter source-port named-filter
accounting
By default, these two named source-port filters forward traffic to all ports and
port trunks.
To configure a named source-port filter to prevent inbound traffic from being
forwarded to specific destination switch ports or port trunks, the drop option
is used. For example, on a 26-port switch, to configure the named source-port
filter web-only to drop any traffic except that for destination ports 1 and 2, the
following command would be used:
ProCurve(config)# filter source-port named-filter web-
only drop 3-26
A named source-port filter can be defined and configured in a single command
by adding the drop option, followed by the required destination-port-list.
Viewing a Named Source-Port Filter
You can list all source-port filters configured in the switch, both named and
unnamed, and their action using the show command below.
Syntax:
show filter source-port
Displays a listing of configured source-port filters, where each filter entry
includes a Filter Name, Port List, and Action:
Filter Name: The filter-name used when a named source-port filter is
defined. Non-named source-port filters are automatically assigned the
port or port trunk number of the source port.
Port List: Lists the port and port trunk destinations using the filter.
Named source-port filters that are not in use display NOT USED.
Action: Lists the ports and port trunks dropped by the filter. If a named
source-port filter has been defined but not configured, this field is blank.
[ index ] For the supplied index (IDX) displays the action taken (Drop or Forward)
for each destination port on the switch.
Using Named Source-Port Filters
A company wants to manage traffic to the Internet and its accounting server
on a 26-port switch. Their network is pictured in Figure
9-4. Switch port 1
connects to a router that provides connectivity to a WAN and the Internet.
Switch port 7 connects to the accounting server. Two workstations in
accounting are connected to switch ports 10 and 11.
