Parameter

Description

Type

Size

Default

intra-switch-policy

Allow any traffic between switch interfaces or require firewall policies to allow traffic between switch interfaces.

option

implicit

Option	Description
implicit	Traffic between switch members is implicitly allowed.
explicit	Traffic between switch members must match firewall policies.

mac-ttl

option

both

Option	Description
rx	Copies only received packets from source SPAN ports to the destination SPAN port.
tx	Copies only transmitted packets from source SPAN ports to the destination SPAN port.
both	Copies both received and transmitted packets from source SPAN ports to the destination SPAN port.

Physical interface name.

string

Maximum length: 79

type

Type of switch based on functionality: switch for normal functionality, or hub to duplicate packets to all port members.

option

switch

Option	Description
switch	Switch for normal switch functionality (available in NAT mode only).
hub	Hub to duplicate packets to all member ports.

vdom

VDOM that the software switch belongs to.

string

Maximum length: 31
