To delete a Port filter, at the LCM prompt:
1. Type filters delete
LCM prompts you for the filter index.
2. Enter the filter number.
LCM responds filter deleted.
5.6 FILTERING AND PERFORMANCE
CONSIDERATIONS
When implementing filters, the FN10 must process packets to determine
if they should be filtered. Therefore, the processing that takes place on
filters can exact a toll on FN10 throughput (or forwarding) performance.
Typically, if you are using Bridge Address Table filters or a small number
of Port filters, they will have little effect on performance. However, a
large number of Port filters can reduce the maximum possible forwarding
rate. For this reason, filters that are no longer needed should be removed.
NOTE
All filter indexes are sequential, beginning with the number
one. When a filter is deleted, all filters are renumbered so that
the filter index remains sequential.
