Renumbering filter policy entries

The system exits the matching process when the first match is found and then executes the actions in accordance with the specified action. Because the ordering of entries is important, the numbering sequence can be rearranged. Entries should be numbered from the most explicit to the least explicit.

Use the following syntax to renumber existing MAC or IP filter entries to re-sequence filter entries.

config>filter
    ip-filter filter-id
    renum old-entry-number new-entry-number
    mac-filter filter-id
    renum old-entry-number new-entry-number

Example: Command usage to renumber filter entries

config>filter>ip-filter# renum 10 15
    config>filter>ip-filter# renum 20 10
    config>filter>ip-filter# renum 40 1

Example: Reordered filter entries

The following is a sample original filter entry order on the left side and the reordered filter entries on the right side.
