Displaying and Deleting Protocol Filters

Use the Protocol Filter window  to display and delete user-defined and default protocol filters.  Protocol filtering enables you to configure a GS2000 line card so that it selectively filters traffic based on the data's MAC frame format. For more information, see About Protocol Filters.  

This window also provides access to windows that allow you to add and modify protocol filters.

Deleting Protocol Filters

In the Protocol Filter window locate the filter you want to delete and click Del.
