The Filter managed service action filters packets on the Service Node (SN) interface and supports optional VLAN tagging. Utilizing ACL rules, the system forwards or drops matched traffic. Traffic tagged with a VLAN exits the interface (Tx) after processing through the action chain. VLAN tagging specifically facilitates traffic steering in Switch-less SN deployments, where the forwarding plane relies on VLANs. This configuration produces no functional impact when the SN connects directly to a DMF switch within the fabric.

While preserving the information from the previous version, the updated DMF Interfaces UI introduces a new layout, design, and enhanced functionalities for improved interface viewing and monitoring for easy troubleshooting.
