Table A-1. Comparing Version 5 and Version 10.0 Traffic Filters
Version 5 Filters Version 10.0 Filters
You can configure inbound traffic filters only. You can configure outbound traffic filters (on
synchronous circuits only), as well as inbound
traffic filters.
You can define multiple filters at the same
precedence level (31 possible levels).
You must define each filter at a different
precedence level (31 possible levels).
You can identify multiple fields within a filter, and
multiple ranges within each field.
No change.
The highest precedence level for a Version 5 filter
is 31; the lowest is 1.
Precedence levels are reversed. The highest
precedence level for a Version 10.0 filter is 1; the
lowest is 31.
A Rule Number assigned to each filter enables
you to keep track of how many filters you define
on an interface (maximum of 31 filters).
A Filter Number assigned to each filter enables
you to keep track of how many filters you define
on an interface (maximum of 31 filters).
The Rule Number and Precedence Level
assigned to a filter are unrelated numbers.
The Filter Number and Precedence Level
assigned to a filter are the same number. Filter
Number 1 = Precedence Level 1 (highest); Filter
Number 31 = Precedence Level 31 (lowest).
You can change the precedence level assigned to
a filter.
You can change the precedence level assigned to
a filter, then Site Manager automatically adjusts
(reassigns) the precedence levels assigned to all
other filters on the same circuit.
You configure a drop-all action by specifying a
field plus the action “drop all.”
You configure the “drop-all” action explicitly by
specifying a field and entering as filter
parameters the minimum and maximum values
possible for that field.
You cannot assign a name to a filter. You can assign a descriptive name to any
inbound or outbound traffic filter.
