Protocol filters prevent or allow the use of
specific protocols through the interface. You can set up individual
protocol filters or sets of filters. This base page enables you
to apply the filters for incoming and outgoing Ethernet and 802.11b
Radio interfaces.
Filters must be created before they can be applied.
Click the MAC
Address Filters tab to create or edit filter indexes for MAC
addresses. Click the IP Filters
tab to create or edit protocol filters. Click the Ethertype
Filters tab to create or edit protocol filters.
Any filters you set on the MAC Address, IP Filters,
or Ethertype Filters pages are not applied until they are enabled
on this Apply Filters page.
Filters should be applied with caution. Misconfigured
filters can lock you out of the access point. If this happens, the
recovery methods are console port accesses (if available) or resetting
of the access point to the default configuration.

From the drop-down menu, select the protocol
filter set that you want to enable for MAC, Ethertype, and IP.

filter set that you want to enable for MAC, Ethertype, and IP.
