7.3 Firewall

The system provides an added security feature, Layer2 Firewall, in addition to typical AP security. Layer2

Firewall offers a firewall function that is tailored specifically for Layer2 traffics, providing another choice of

shield against possible security threats coming from/going to WLAN (AP interfaces); hence, besides

firewall policies configured on gateways, this extra security feature will assist to mitigate possible security

breach. This section provides information in the following functions: Firewall Settings, Service and
