5.1.2.2 Setting the Type Filter Configuration

Each access point LAN (either LAN1 or LAN2) can keep a list of frame types that it forwards or
discards. The Type Filtering feature prevents specific (a potentially unneccesary) frames from being
processed by the access point in order to improve throughput. These include certain broadcast frames
from devices that consume bandwidth, but are unnecessary to access point operations.

Use the

Ethernet Type Filter Configuration

screen to build a list of filter types and configure them

as either allowed or denied for use with the this particular LAN.

To configure type filtering on the access point:

1.

Select

Network Configuration

->

LAN

->

LAN1 (or LAN2)

->

Type Filter

from the access

point menu tree.

The

Ethernet Type Filter Configuration

screen displays for the LAN. No Ethernet types

are displayed (by default) when the screen is first launched.
