Configuring Layer-2 Secure Port Filters
Secure port filters block access to a specified port. You can use a secure port filter by itself
to secure unused ports. Secure port filters can be configured as source or destination port
filters. A secure port filter applied to a source port forces all incoming packets to be
dropped on a port. A secure port filter applied to a destination port prevents packets from
going out a certain port.
You can combine this secure port filters with static entries in the following ways:
• Combine a source secure port filter with a source static entry to drop all received traffic
but allow any frame coming from a specific source MAC address to go through.
• Combine a source secure port filter with a flow static entry to drop all received traffic
but allow any frame coming from a specific source MAC address that is destined to a
specific destination MAC address to go through.
• Combine a destination secure port with a destination static entry to drop all received
traffic but allow any frame destined to a specific destination MAC address to go
through.
• Combine a destination secure port filter with a flow static entry to drop all received
traffic but allow any frame coming from a specific source MAC address that is destined
to a specific destination MAC address to go through.
