172 Cisco LAN Switching Configuration Handbook
Feature Example
This example shows the configuration for protocol filtering. This example enables proto-
col filtering. It then sets the Fast Ethernet ports 5/1 through 5/6 to enable IP traffic to
pass without being filtered and blocks all other traffic. This example also configures ports
5/7 to 5/8 to enable only IPX traffic. In the following example, ports 5/9 to 5/10 enable
IP and IPX traffic only if the ports detect an IP or IPX client on the specific port and
enable all other traffic to be forwarded:
