Defining a VPLS Firewall Filter
You can configure filters, policers, and broadcast and unknown filters to determine which kind of traffic is allowed into and out of a VPLS domain. You can apply these filters and policers to CE-facing interfaces only.
To process traffic as it exits a VPLS domain, you can define a firewall filter and apply it to the output interface. To configure match conditions for a firewall filter, include the interface-group, source-mac-address, destination-mac-address, ethernet-type, or vlan-ethernet-type statements at the [edit firewall family vpls filter filter-name term term-name from] hierarchy level. Then, implement the desired action (for example, discard) for the traffic at the [edit firewall family vpls filter filter-name term term-name then] hierarchy level. To apply the filter to a CE-facing interface, include the input, output, or group statements at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit unit-number family vpls filter] hierarchy level.
