Configuring and Managing the Switch
CHAPTER 2
Use custom filters to control where the switch forwards packets from
a given MAC address. Custom filters override VLANs. This is useful
when you want a device to talk to devices outside of its VLAN.
Filters are defined for a set of ports. For example, you can set a
custom filter that tells the switch to forward packets received on ports
3 and 4 to ports 6 and 7.
To set a custom filter
1 Determine the MAC address of the device you’re applying the
filter to.
2 Determine the switch ports where the device’s packets will arrive.
These are the source ports.
3 Determine the switch ports where the device’s packets will be
forwarded. These are the destination ports.
4 Use the Custom Filter Port Tables in Appendix A to find the
source and destination port hexadecimal equivalents.
5 Type the command:
add-cf-entry perm 00-A0-C9-11-11-11 C C0
This custom filter would send packets from the device with MAC
address 00-A0-00-11-11-11 arriving on ports 3 or 4 (hexadecimal
C) to both ports 6 and 7 (hexadecimal C0).
Console Command Reference
The console commands configure the Console Manager parameters
and interface.
Type ? at the Console Manager prompt to display a list of available
command topics and a short explanation of each. Type a name from
this list to display the commands under that topic.
NOTE
Source ports start with port 1.
Destination ports start with
port 0, which is the internal
SNMP management port.
