mvfilt -v 4|6 -p p_fid -n n_fid

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.
