Cisco Secure Firewall - Prefilter Policy
In this one, we take a quick look at the Prefilter Policy within the Cisco Secure Firewall and why it matters in real-world deployments.
Fastpath = Bypassing checks (IPS, Access Control, etc;.) on certain trusted traffic.
Block = Let's not waste any more processing power on this traffic and drop it.
We will also look at where Prefilter sits in the packet flow.
It is a simple feature that can have a big impact on performance and design decisions in larger environments.
