Blackhole-type inline forwarding configuration example
1. Network requirements
Packets coming from GigabitEthernet 0/1 must be discarded. In this case, you can configure
blackhole-type inline forwarding on Ethernet 0/1.
2. Configuration procedure
# Create a blackhole-type inline forwarding policy.
• Select Network > Forwarding in the navigation tree. On the page, click Add.
• Type policy ID 1.
• Select Blackhole as the policy type.
• Select GigabitEthernet0/1 from the Port 1 drop-down list.
• Click Apply.
Configuration guidelines
When configuring inline forwarding, note the following:
1. Inline forwarding is applicable to Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces and subinterfaces.
2. If you assign a subinterface to an inline forwarding entry, note the following:
• To make the entry take effect, the interface must be assigned to the VLAN of which the ID is used as
the subinterface number. For example, if the subinterface GigabitEthernet 0/1.2 is assigned to an
inline forwarding entry, the interface GigabitEthernet 0/1 must be assigned to VLAN 2 so that the
inline forwarding can be implemented.
• If an interface and its subinterface are assigned to different inline forwarding entries, the
forwarding entry with the main interface takes precedence. For example, the interfaces
GigabitEthernet 0/1 and GigabitEthernet 0/2 are assigned to one inline forwarding entry, and the
subinterfaces GigabitEthernet 0/1.2 and GigabitEthernet 0/2.3 are assigned to another
forwarding entry; then the data received from GigabitEthernet 0/1 is forwarded through the
interface GigabitEthernet 0/2, and vise versa.
Configuring inline Layer 2 forwarding in the CLI
A complete inline Layer 2 forwarding configuration contains an ID, which uniquely identifies an inline
forwarding entry, and two interfaces. A packet coming from one interface goes out of the other. Inline
Layer 2 forwarding is supported on Layer 2 ports only.
