Bridge Filters

Bridge filters are used to block or allow various types of packets through the WAN interface. This

may be done for security or to improve network efficiency. The rules are configured for individual

devices based on MAC address. Filter rules can be set up for source, destination or both. You can set

up filter rules and disable the entire set of rules without loosing the rules that have been configured.

To add a bridge filter rule, check Enable Bridge Filters, type in a Source MAC, a Destination MAC

or both in the entry fields. Select Any to apply the rule to any protocol that the router receives. The

user may also specify a protocol to be filtered by using the pull-down menu, and then choose either

Allow, to allow the specified protocol to pass through the router, or Deny to filter the protocol from the

router. The protocols that may be specifically allowed or denied to pass through the WAN interface

are IPv4, IPv6, RARP, PPPoE Discovery and PPPoE Session. Click the Add button. The rule will

appear in the entry field below as it is currently configured. To remove a bridge filter from the table in

the bottom half of the window, click to select the corresponding Delete box, and then click Apply.

Remember to save the configuration changes.

Clicking the Routing tab will lead you to this window, which is used to manually enter a routing entry

for the Router. Routing entries are used when known gateways and hops on the network are known to

the user. Unless instructed by your ISP or if you have a greater knowledge of networking, this window

should not be necessary to configure as the LAN IP settings should be sufficient for your connection.
