Filter Setup
This section describes how to set up filtering to control the flow of data through
the access point. You can filter data based on protocols and MAC addresses. Each
type of filtering is explained in the following sections:
• Protocol Filtering, page 3-8
• MAC Address Filtering, page 3-13
Protocol Filtering
Protocol filters prevent or allow the use of specific protocols through the access
point. You can set up individual protocol filters or sets of filters. You can filter
protocols for wireless client devices, users on the wired LAN, or both. For
example, an SNMP filter on the access point’s radio port prevents wireless client
devices from using SNMP with the access point but does not block SNMP access
from the wired LAN.
Use the Ethernet Protocol Filters page to create and enable protocol filters for the
access point’s Ethernet port, and use the AP Radio Protocol Filters page to create
and enable protocol filters for the access point’s radio port. The pages are
identical except for the page title. Figure 3-4 shows the main body for the pages.
