Configuring Traffic Filters and Protocol Prioritization
6-22
Changing Filter Precedence
You can assign as many as 31 inbound traffic filters per protocol to each router
interface. As you add filters to an interface, the Configuration Manager numbers
them chronologically (rule #1, rule #2, rule #3, and so on). The rule number
determines the filter precedence; lower rule numbers have higher precedence.
If a packet matches two filters, the filter with the highest precedence (lowest
number) applies. For example, if the first filter on the interface (rule #1) accepts a
packet and the second filter (rule #2) drops the same packet, filter #1 has
precedence and the packet will be accepted.
Figure 6-17 shows how the Traffic Filters window displays the filters on an
interface. The first filter created has the highest precedence and the rule number 1.
Figure 6-17. Traffic Filters List (in Order Created)
Try to create filters on an interface in order of precedence. However, if you can’t,
or if your filtering strategy changes, you can use the Traffic Filters window to
rearrange the precedence of existing filters.
