Filtering

Advanced
You can configure the following advanced filtering options:
•
Enable Proxy ARP: Place a check mark in the box provided to allow the Access Point to respond to Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
requests for wireless clients. When enabled, the AP answers ARP requests for wireless stations without actually forwarding them to the
wireless network. If disabled, the Access Point will bridge ARP requests for wireless clients to the wireless LAN.
• Enable IP/ARP Filtering: Place a check mark in the box provided to allow IP/ARP filtering based on the IP/ARP Filtering Address and IP
Mask. Leave the box unchecked to prevent filtering. If enabled, you should also configure the IP/ARP Filtering Address and IP/ARP IP
Mask.
–
IP/ARP Filtering Address: Enter the Network filtering IP Address.
– IP/ARP IP Mask: Enter the Network Mask IP Address.
The following protocols are listed in the Advanced Filter Table:
•
Deny IPX RIP
• Deny IPX SAP
• Deny IPX LSP
• Deny IP Broadcasts
• Deny IP Multicasts
The AP can filter these protocols in the wireless-to-Ethernet direction, the Ethernet-to-wireless direction, or in both directions. Click Edit and
use the Status field to Enable or Disable the filter.
TCP/UDP Port
Port-based filtering enables you to control wireless user access to network services by selectively blocking TCP/UDP protocols through the
AP. A user specifies a Protocol Name, Port Number, Port Type (TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP), and filtering interfaces (Wireless only, Ethernet only,
all interfaces, or no interfaces) in order to block access to services, such as Telnet and FTP, and traffic, such as NETBIOS and HTTP.
For example, an AP with the following configuration would discard frames received on its Ethernet interface with a UDP destination port
number of 137, effectively blocking NETBIOS Name Service packets.
Adding TCP/UDP Port Filters
1. Place a check mark in the box labeled Enable TCP/UDP Port Filtering.
2. Click Add under the TCP/UDP Port Filter Table heading.
3. In the TCP/UDP Port Filter Table
, enter the Protocol Names to filter.
4. Set the destination Port Number (a value between 1 and 65535) to filter. See the IANA Web site at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers for a list of assigned port numbers and their descriptions.
5. Set the Port Type for the protocol: TCP, UDP, or both (TCP/UDP).
6. Set the Interface to filter:
• Only Ethernet
• Only Wireless
• All interfaces
7. Click OK.
Editing TCP/UDP Port Filters
1. Click Edit under the TCP/UDP Port Filter Table heading.
2. Make any changes to the Protocol Name or Port Number for a specific entry, if necessary.
3. In the row that defines the port, set the Status to Enable, Disable, or Delete, as appropriate.
4. Select OK
