Policy and Entry Maintenance Commands

copy

Syntax

copy {ip-filter | ipv6-filter | mac-filter} source-filter-id dest-filter-id dest-filter-id [overwrite]

Context

config>filter

Description

Copies existing filter list entries for a specific filter ID to another filter ID.

The copy command is a configuration level maintenance tool used to create new filters using existing
filters. It also allows bulk modifications to an existing policy with the use of the overwrite keyword.

If overwrite is not specified, an error will occur if the destination policy ID exists.

Parameters

ip-filter — This keyword indicates that the source-filter-id and the dest-filter-id are IP filter IDs.

ipv6-filter — This keyword indicates that the source-filter-id and the dest-filter-id are IPv6 filter

IDs.

mac-filter — This keyword indicates that the source-filter-id and the dest-filter-id are MAC filter

IDs.

source-filter-id — The source-filter-id identifies the source filter policy from which the copy

command will attempt to copy. The filter policy must exist within the context of the preceding
keyword (ip-filter, ipv6-filter or mac-filter).

dest-filter-id — The dest-filter-id identifies the destination filter policy to which the copy command

will attempt to copy. If the overwrite keyword does not follow, the filter policy ID cannot
already exist within the system for the filter type the copy command is issued for. If the
overwrite keyword is present, the destination policy ID may or may not exist.

overwrite — The overwrite keyword specifies that the destination filter ID may exist. If it does,

everything in the existing destination filter ID will be completely overwritten with the contents
of the source filter ID. If the destination filter ID exists, either overwrite must be specified or an
error message will be returned. If overwrite is specified, the function of copying from source to
destination occurs in a ‘break before make’ manner and therefore should be handled with care.

renum

Syntax

renum old-entry-id new-entry-id

Context

config>filter>ip-filter
config>filter>ipv6-filter
config>filter>mac-filter

Description

This command renumbers existing MAC or IP filter entries to properly sequence filter entries.

This may be required in some cases since the OS exits when the first match is found and executes the
actions according to the accompanying action command. This requires that entries be sequenced
correctly from most to least explicit.
