URL Filtering
The AP-2500 can restrict access to specified web sites based on URLs. URL filtering will block access to these list of
sites and/or domains. You can restrict access to specific Web sites based on IP address, DNS name (for example
www.yahoo.com) or DNS Domain name (for example, *.yahoo.com, meaning all sites under the yahoo.com hierarchy,
such as finance.yahoo.com).
There is one filtering table for IP addresses and a second for DNS names. Each table can hold up to 50 entries.
