Configuring IP Filters

You can use Fabric Manager to configure IP filters and profiles. The general procedure is to create an IP profile, add a filter to the profile, and then associated that profile to one or more interfaces. Filters can only be created if their associated filter profiles already exist in the ProfileTable.

Deleting any profile in the Profile Table will also delete all the associated filters in the FilterTable and cause the state of the associated 'active' filter profile in the ProfileTable to be changed to 'notReady'.

The list below shows the IP Filter tasks you can perform with Fabric Manager. IP Filter is not available from Device Manager.
