expfilt Command

Purpose

Exports filter rules to an export file.

Syntax

expfilt [-v 4|6] -f directory [-l filt_id_list]

Description

Use the expfilt command to export filter rules into export text file(s), which can be used by the impfilt command. This is useful if you want to define similar rules on multiple machines.

Flags

-v	IP version of the filter rules you want to export. The value of 4 specifies IP version 4 and the value of 6 specifies IP version 6. When this flag is not used, both IP version 4 and IP version 6 rules are exported.
-f	Specifies the directory to create the exported text files. The directory will be created if it does not exist.
-l	Lists the id's of the filter rules(s) you want to export. The filter rule ids can be separated by "," or "-". If this flag is not used, all the filter rules defined in the filter rule table for the applicable IP version(s) will be exported.
