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.

Multicast Pass-through

packets to pass through the WAN interface. IGMP packets are used to control multicasts and discontinue
multicasts to individual IP addresses when they are no longer needed.
