Configuring Filters
Chapter 17
4. To filter an IP address, enter an address in the IP Address field.
5. Type the mask for the IP address in the Mask field.
Enter the mask with periods separating the groups of characters, for
example, 112.334.556.778.
If you enter 255.255.255.255 as the mask, the access point accepts any IP
address. If you enter 0.0.0.0, the access point looks for an exact match with
the IP address you entered in the IP Address field. The mask you enter in
this field behaves the same way that a mask behaves when you enter it in
CLI.
6. From the Action menu, select Forward or Block.
7. Click Add.
The address appears in the Filters Classes field. To remove the address from
the Filters Classes list, select it and click Delete Class.
If you don’t need to add IP protocol or IP port elements to the filter, skip
to
step 14
to save the filter on the access point.
8. To filter an IP protocol, select one of the common protocols from the IP
Protocol pull-down menu, or select the Custom radio button and enter the
number of an existing ACL in the Custom field.
Enter an ACL number from 0…255. See
for a
list of IP protocols and their numeric designators.
9. From the Action menu, select Forward or Block.
10. Click Add.
The protocol appears in the Filters Classes field.
To remove the protocol from the Filters Classes list, select it and click
Delete Class.
If you don’t need to add IP port elements to the filter, skip to
step 14
to
save the filter on the access point.
11. To filter a TCP or UDP port protocol, select one of the common port
protocols from the TCP Port or UDP Port pull-down menus, or select the
Custom radio button and enter the number of an existing protocol in one
of the Custom fields.
Enter a protocol number from 0…65535.
12. From the Action menu, select Forward or Block.
IMPORTANT
If you plan to block traffic to all IP addresses except those you specify as
allowed, put the address of your computer in the list of allowed addresses to
avoid losing connectivity to the access point.
