4.11
bridge set interface portfilter
4.11.1 Syntax
bridge set interface {<name>|<number>} portfilter
{All|<port>}
4.11.2 Description
This command controls the bridge’s forwarding and broadcasting behavior. It
allows you to set a portfilter on a bridge interface to determine which port of
ports unknown packets should be forwarded to. This command sets one
destination port at a time. If you want to forward packets to several ports, enter
a
bridge set interface portfilter <port>
command for each port.
If you want to forward packets to all ports, enter the command and specify the
all
value.
Note:
If a unicast packet is received by an interface with a portfilter set to all,
the portfilter rule is ignored. The unicast packet is still only sent to one
port.
Note:
If the bridge itself is attached to the router, the bridge itself will always
forward to all ports and will always be forwarded to by all ports.
Note:
Port Filter is not restored by the
system config save
command.
