Deactivating packet rules

If you need to make changes to your active packet rules, or you want to activate new rules, you must first deactivate the currently active rules.

You can choose to deactivate the rules on a specific interface, on a point-to-point identifier, or on all interfaces and all point-to-point identifiers.

For instructions on how to deactivate your packet rules, use the Packet Rules Editor online help. Packet rules can also be deactivated by using the Load/Unload IP Filter (LODIPFTR) CL command. The LODIPFTR command is used to load or unload Internet Protocol (IP) filter rules.
