source-filtering

Syntax

(source-filtering | no-source-filtering);

Hierarchy Level

[edit interfaces interface-name redundant-ether-options]

Release Information

Statement modified in Release 9.0 of JUNOS software.

Description

For redundant Ethernet interfaces, enable the filtering of MAC source addresses, which blocks all incoming packets to that interface. To allow the interface to receive packets from specific MAC addresses, include the source-address-filter statement.

If the remote Ethernet card is changed, the interface cannot receive packets from the new card because it has a different MAC address.

By default, source address filtering is disabled.

This statement is supported on J-series devices.

Usage Guidelines

For configuration instructions and examples, see the JUNOS Software Security Configuration Guide. See also source-address-filter.
