Configuring Port Filtering
If the performance of your network is affected by heavy traffic, you can use
these parameters to restrict ingress and egress broadcast packets as well
as unknown unicast and multicast packets forwarded by a port. Activating
this feature on a port causes the port to discard all packets of the type you
specified. For example, you might configure a port to discard all ingress
and egress broadcast packet or perhaps just unknown unicast egress
packets. The default setting for each filter is disabled.
To set up filtering, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
The Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure 24 on page 120.
2. From the Port Configuration menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter port-list ->
3. Enter the number of the port to be configured.
The Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure 26 on page 123.
4. From the Port Configuration menu, type 4 to select Filtering.
The Filtering menu is shown in Figure 29.
