Points to remember:
  1. Following are some of the major protocols that can be dropped based on the FP rule entry, if those protocols are not configured or blocked. All these drops are accounted as discard counters.
    • LLDP BPDU redirects
    • ARP
    • STP/RSTP BPDU redirects
    • BGP
    • OSPF
    • ECMP and LAG show cases
    • VLT LLDP PDUs
    • VLT DOT1x PDUs
    • VLT PE ECP PDUs
    • VLT IPM1 sync frames
    • VLT ARP sync frames
    • VLT TTL1 packets tunneled
    • VLT ARP replies tunneled
    • VLT STP BPDUs tunneled
    • FEFD
    • VRRP frames redirects
    • ARP reply packets
    • GVRP traffic redirects
    • LACP traffic redirects
    • Common VLT control frames
  2. Packets are dropped due to user defined ACLs.
  3. Multicast traffic with the TTL value 1.
  4. Multicast traffic is not part of any group or special group that has to be processed by the CPU.
  5. In addition to the above protocols, the filter processor rule also drops Yellow and Red packets if QoS is configured on the system.
