filter to the EPICenter database.
The protocol filter is now available to be used on any switch, but is not created
on any switches at this time. The protocol filter is created on a switch only when
you create or modify a VLAN to use the new protocol filter on that switch. The
database acts as a collective store for network data without needing to replicate it on
every switch.
