Traffic Filters Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when configuring traffic filters:

• If you apply a traffic filter to a multinetted interface (that is, an interface with

more than one IP address), the traffic filter might not work correctly. To

ensure that the filter works correctly, you must assign the same filter to all of

the IP addresses on the interface.

• Site Manager cannot understand traffic filters you have configured using the

BCC.

• When you implement outbound traffic filters for LAN protocols, in some

configurations the filters might cause a decline in throughput performance.

For LAN circuits where the forwarding rate of the router is critical, monitor

the throughput performance after configuring outbound traffic filters. If you

notice an unacceptable performance degradation, try using inbound traffic

filters.

• If you use Site Manager or the BCC to configure IP traffic filters with

precedence values that are higher than the number of traffic filters configured,

you might reach the maximum precedence value before you create the

maximum number of filters. When you reach the maximum precedence value

of 31 traffic filters, the router generates an error if you try to configure a filter

with a precedence of 32. The system does not place you in extended filtering

mode.

For example, if you create the following five traffic filters, an error occurs

when you create the fifth filter:

Filter 1 precedence = 28

Filter 2 precedence = 29

Filter 3 precedence = 30

Filter 4 precedence = 31

Filter 5 precedence = 32 (error occurs here)

As a workaround, you can take one of the following actions:

-- Reassign the precedence value of traffic filters 1 through 5 to lower

values.

-- Use the Technician Interface to turn on extended filtering mode and let

the system assign precedence values to additional traffic filters on the IP

interface.
