Prevent All Wireless Devices From Communicating With a Single Wired Device
Configure the following settings to prevent all three Wireless Clients from communicating with Wired Server 1.
•
Wired MAC Address: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A
•
Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
•
Wireless MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
•
Wireless Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Result: The Access Point blocks all traffic between Wired Server 1 and all wireless clients.
Prevent A Wireless Device From Communicating With the Wired Network
Configure the following settings to prevent Wireless Client 3 from communicating with any device on the Ethernet.
•
Wired MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
•
Wired Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00
•
Wireless MAC Address: 00:20:A6:12:4E:38
•
Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
Result: The Access Point blocks all traffic between Wireless Client 3 and the Ethernet network.
Prevent Messages Destined for a Specific Multicast Group from Being Forwarded to the Wireless LAN
If there are devices on your Ethernet network that use multicast packets to communicate and these packets are not
required by your wireless clients, you can set up a Static MAC filter to preserve wireless bandwidth. For example, if
routers on your network use a specific multicast address (such as 01:00:5E:00:32:4B) to exchange information, you
can set up a filter to prevent these multicast packets from being forwarded to the wireless network:
•
Wired MAC Address: 01:00:5E:00:32:4B
•
Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
•
Wireless MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
•
Wireless Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Result: The Access Point does not forward any packets that have a destination address of 01:00:5E:00:32:4B to the
wireless network.
Advanced
You can configure the following advanced filtering options:
•
Enable Proxy ARP: Place a check mark in the box provided to allow the Access Point to respond to Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests for wireless clients. When enabled, the AP-600 answers ARP requests for
wireless stations without actually forwarding them to the wireless network. If disabled, the Access Point will bridge
ARP requests for wireless clients to the wireless LAN.
•
Enable IP/ARP Filtering: Place a check mark in the box provided to allow IP/ARP filtering based on the IP/ARP
Filtering Address and IP Mask. Leave the box unchecked to prevent filtering. If enabled, you should also configure
the IP/ARP Filtering Address and IP/ARP IP Mask.
–
IP/ARP Filtering Address: Enter the Network filtering IP Address.
–
IP/ARP IP Mask: Enter the Network Mask IP Address.
The following protocols are listed in the Advanced Filter Table:
•
Deny IPX RIP
•
Deny IPX SAP
•
Deny IPX LSP
•
Deny IP Broadcasts
•
Deny IP Multicasts
The AP-600 can filter these protocols in the wireless-to-Ethernet direction, the Ethernet-to-wireless direction, or in both
directions. Click Edit and use the Status field to Enable or Disable the filter.
