Configuring and Enabling IP Filters

IP filters (IP address, IP protocol, and IP port) prevent or allow the use of specific
protocols through the access point’s Ethernet and radio ports, and IP address
filters allow or prevent the forwarding of unicast and multicast packets either sent
from or addressed to specific IP addresses.

You can create a filter that passes traffic to all addresses except those you specify,
or you can create a filter that blocks traffic to all addresses except those you
specify. You can create filters that contain elements of one, two, or all three IP
filtering methods. You can apply the filters you create to either or both the
Ethernet and radio ports and to either or both incoming and outgoing packets.

Use the IP Filters page to create IP filters for the access point.

1. rom the main menu, click Services.
2. In the Services page list, click Filters.
3. On the Apply Filters page, click the IP Filters tab.

IMPORTANT

The filter is saved on the access point, but it is not enabled until you
apply it on the Apply Filters page.
