Create or edit a Traffic Management filter

Procedure

1. Select Profiles → Inspection Profiles → [Profile Name] → Traffic Management.
2. Click New or select an existing Traffic Management filter, and click Edit.
3. Select the appropriate parameters in the Traffic Management Filter dialog.
   Keep the following information in mind:

   • Traffic Management filter names must be unique within a profile. The SMS gives each filter a unique ID, which it uses as a reference in the system.
   • Enter the IP address in the Source or Destination address field to create an unnamed IP address group. Click the Right arrow next to the address field to select or create a named IP address group. Learn more.
     • Sending too many Traffic Management filters to the device can exceed the device maximum. For more information, see Maximum filter limits. To prevent this, ensure that the source or destination addresse has a value of Any/Any IPv6. For example, if you select the IPv6 protocol, select Any IPv6 for the source or destination addresses. Learn more.
   • The SMS uses cross multiplication when distributing Traffic Management filters to pair the source and destination addresses. For example, a single Traffic Management filter that has 10 addresses in its source group and 10 addresses in its destination group will produce 100 Traffic Management Filters upon distribution.
