You can enhance in-band security and improve control over access to network

resources by configuring static filters to forward (the default action) or drop

unwanted traffic. That is, you can configure a traffic filter to either forward

or drop all network traffic moving to outbound (destination) ports and trunks

(if any) on the switch.
