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.
