Transparent firewall mode
7
Transparent firewall mode
The transparent firewall mode allows the device to switch control packets destined to itself. By
default, Brocade devices will drop control packets received with the device's MAC address as the
packet's destination MAC address (that is, packets destined to the switch or router). Under the
transparent firewall mode, switching packets destined to itself is allowed. The transparent firewall
mode feature is a per VLAN configuration and is disabled by default.
Enabling a transparent firewall
To set the mode to transparent, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-vlan-10)# transparent-fw-mode
To set the mode to routed, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade config-vlan-10)# no transparent-fw-mode
Syntax: [no] transparent-fw-mode
Displaying VLAN information
After you configure the VLANs, you can view and verify the configuration using the commands
discussed in this section.
Displaying VLAN information
Use the show vlan command under the vlan-policy configuration.
NOTE
VLAN byte counters are displayed in the output of the show vlan command on an MPLS enabled VE
interface.
