Protocol Filter Settings |
Protocol
Type |
Sets the protocol type
(Ethenet, DSAP, or SNAP), and hexidecimal value associated with the specific protocol you
want to filter from receiving ports. |
Protocol Rate
Limiting |
Enables or disables rate
limiting for the protocol filter. If rate limiting is disabled on the switch, it is
disabled for all address and protocol filters, even if rate limiting for the individual
filter is enabled. If rate limiting is enabled on the switch, it is enabled for a
specific filter only if rate limiting is also enabled for the filter. |
Allow
the Protocol on Ports |
The ports on which you want
frames to be received or forwarded, based on the specified protocol. (The frames are
filtered from those ports not shown.) Enter None
if you want the frames filtered from all ports. Enter all if you want the frames
allowed on all ports. You can list the ports individually by separating each with a comma
(for example, 0,1,2,3,4,5) or you can enter a range of ports by separating the
first and last port numbers in the range with a hyphen (for example, 0-5). You can
also combine a list of individual entries with a range of entries (for example, 0-4,6,7).
Spaces are not permitted between port numbers and the comma or hyphen. |
