configure dos-protect trusted-ports [ports [ports | all] | add-ports [ports-to-add | all] | delete-ports [ports-to-delete | all]]

Description

Configures the list of trusted ports.

Syntax Description


`ports`	Specifies the trusted ports list.
`ports-to-add`	Specifies the ports to add to the trusted ports list.
all	Specifies all the ports.
`ports-to-delete`	Specifies the ports to delete from the trusted ports list.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

Traffic from trusted ports will be ignored when DoS protect counts the packets to the CPU. If we know that a machine connected to a certain port on the switch is a safe "trusted" machine, and we know that we will not get a DoS attack from that machine, the port to which this machine is connected can be configured as a trusted port, even though a large amount of traffic is going through this port.

Example

This example sets the trusted port list to 3:1-3:7:

configure dos-protect trusted-ports ports 3:1-3:7

This example adds the trusted port 3:8 to the current list (use this command with a network administrator machine not connected to the internet that is attached to port 3:8):

configure dos-protect trusted-ports add-ports 3:8
