## Data Object Description

The FilterSpec data object describes a filter based on protocol, direction and port or port-range.

Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
action | xsd:string | String value from Action enum object.
direction | xsd:string | String value from Direction enum object.
lowerDstPortBoundary* | xsd:long | Long value representing the lower destination port boundary. If unset, the lower destination port boundary is default to the lowest port number supported by the given protocol. To specify a single port, both lowerDstPortBoundary and upperDstPortBoundary shall be set to the same value.
protocol | xsd:string | String value from Protocol enum object
rank | xsd:long | Long value representing filter rank. This is the rank of this filter. Filters are guaranteed to be processed in ascending rank order, that is, if rank1 < rank2, then rank1 is processed before rank2. The ranks within an array of filters should be unique.
upperDstPortBoundary* | xsd:long | Long value representing the upper destination port range. If unset, the upper destination port boundary is default to the highest port number supported by the given protocol. To specify a single port, both lowerDstPortBoundary and upperDstPortBoundary shall be set to the same value.
