force-fbf-terms

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

When a firewall filter is configured with two terms; the first term without filter based forwarding action, and the second term with a filter based forwarding action, the packet is assigned the routing instance specified by the filter based forwarding action in the second term. This happens even if the first term is configured with a terminating action such as accept. Ideally, after the first term, the packet should terminate and not be procesed by the second term. But this is the default behavior - a firewall filter term that has a filter based forwarding action is always processed first, regardless of its order of placement.

You use force-fbf-terms to change this default behavior. When you apply this configuration, the firewall filter terms in a firewall are always processed in the order of their placement in the configuration, irrespective of whether a firewall filter term has a filter based forwarding action.
