Virtual ADX(config)#security filter filter5
Virtual ADX(config-sec-filter5)#rule ipv6-ext-header-type esp drop
Syntax: [no] rule ipv6-ext-header-type pv6-ext-header-type [log | no-log] [drop | no-drop]
The ipv6-ext-header-type variable is specified as one of the options described in Table 14.
The log parameter directs the Brocade Virtual ADX to drop traffic on the bound interface that
matches the rule specified by the configured ipv6-ext-header-type. The no-log parameter disables
this function.
The drop parameter directs the Brocade Virtual ADX to drop traffic on the bound interface that
matches the rule specified by the configured ipv6-ext-header-type. The no-drop parameter disables
this function
Binding the filter to an interface
To implement a filter, it must be bound to an interface. It will then be applied globally to all
interfaces on the Brocade Virtual ADX. To bind a filter to an interface, use the following command:
Virtual ADX(config-if-e1000-1/2)#security apply-filter filter1
Syntax: security apply-filter filter-name
The filter-name variable specifies filter that you want to apply on the Brocade Virtual ADX. A
maximum or 10 filters can be bound to a single interface.
Clearing DOS attack statistics
Use clear statistics dos-attack to reset counters for ICMP and TCP SYN packet burst thresholds.
Syntax: clear statistics dos-attack
