7.6.4. Pass lists and Block lists
The Pass list or Block list function is a security feature that prevents fake
IP addresses from intercepting or intruding on the network.
A Pass list is a group of Fluidmesh transceivers, described as a list of
linked pairs. Within the list, each transceiver unit is considered a valid hop
in the routing table. If a Pass list is created, all transceiver units that are
not on the Pass list are excluded from packet routing.
Conversely, a Block list is a group of Fluidmesh transceivers that are
excluded by the routing table computation, and to which data packets
must not be routed. If a Block list is created, all transceiver units that are
on the Block list are excluded from packet routing.
If a Pass list or Block list is applied to a network, the list must be created
as a *.CSV file before being uploaded to each unit in the network. This
procedure is described below.
To create a Pass list or Block list, do the following steps:
1.
Create a *.CSV file. Open the file for editing.
2.
Enter the Pass list or Block list into the *.CSV file. Use the
following syntax rules to create the list:
• A Pass list and Block list are mutually exclusive. Pass lists
• A Pass list is always expressed in the form of

IMPORTANT
The Pass list or Block list feature is only available if the Cisco
FM4200 Mobi is set to Mesh Point mode or Mesh End mode
mode. If the unit is set to Bridge mode, the –pass list / block
list menu option will not be available.
IMPORTANT
The same Pass list or Block list must be applied to all
transceiver units that are part of a defined network.
Failure to use the same Pass list or Block list may cause units
to incorrectly receive, or be incorrectly excluded from, network
traffic.
and Block lists are always separate lists, and are never
combined.
<source>,<destination>,<routing priority>,
where <source> is the unique unit ID number of the
sending unit, <destination> is the unique unit ID number of
the receiving unit, and <routing priority> is a natural
number with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value
of 3.
