5.1.2.2 Setting the Type Filter Configuration
Each access point LAN (either LAN1 or LAN2) can keep a list of frame types that it forwards or
discards. The Type Filtering feature prevents specific (a potentially unneccesary) frames from being
processed by the access point in order to improve throughput. These include certain broadcast frames
from devices that consume bandwidth, but are unnecessary to access point operations.
Use the Ethernet Type Filter Configuration screen to build a list of filter types and configure them
as either allowed or denied for use with the this particular LAN.
To configure type filtering on the access point:
1. Select Network Configuration-> LAN -> LAN1 (or LAN2)-> Type Filter from the access
point menu tree.
The Ethernet Type Filter Configuration screen displays for the LAN. No Ethernet types
are displayed (by default) when the screen is first launched.
