Description

Use the mvfilt command to change the position of a filter rule in the filter rule table. IPsec filter rules for this command can be configured using the genfilt command, IPsec smit (IP version 4 or IP version 6), or Web-based System Manager in the Virtual Private Network submenu.

Flags

Item	Description
-v	IP version of the filter rule. The value 4 specifies IP version 4 and the value 6 specifies IP version 6.
-p	Filter rule ID. It specifies the previous position of the rule in the filter rule table. For IP version 4, the value of 1 is invalid since the first filter rule is unmoveable.
-n	Filter rule ID. It specifies the new position of the rule in the filter rule table after the move. For IP version 4, the value of 1 is invalid since the first filter rule is reserved and thus is unmoveable.
