To use an ASCII-based editor to create a packet filter:

1 Create the definition in a text file.

2 From a networked workstation, ftp the file to the Switch 2200 on which you 

want to load the filter.

3 Load the filter as described in “Loading Packet Filters” on page 12-22.

Deleting a packet filter removes the filter from the Switch 2200 system.

To delete a packet filter:

1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

2 Enter the id of the filter to delete. To find the id of the filter, list the filters as 

You are prompted to confirm the deletion.

3 Enter 

 (yes) to delete or 

 (no) to return to the previous menu. 

You can use the Switch 2200 system line editor to edit packet filters. Once 
you save the packet filter, it is checked for syntax errors. The Switch 2200 
system software will not allow you to assign the packet filter to a port until 
the filter is error-free.

You can also edit a packet filter using an ASCII-based text editor such as 
EMACS or vi. You can then use ftp to send the filter text to the Switch 2200 
system from a networked workstation.
