Asked By David F Grover 20 points N/A Posted on - 11/17/2014

I need specific information or guideline to help me control switch ports. I have read an article which mention this briefly and did not provide any detailed information on how to control switch port. The article only mentioned using firewall to control switch ports. Could someone help me understand this phenomenon by explaining how we can customize firewall to control switch ports?

How Do You Customize Firewall to Control Switch Ports?

Happy to support you!

 

Customizing firewall to control switch ports includes applying firewall filters to provide rules to evaluate the contents of packets and determine the actions like classifying, discarding, counting, forwarding, etc.

Here, the application of port, VLAN, and Layer three routed firewall filters on the switch are involved in the process.

 

 

More guidance in customizing.
