Packet Forwarding

The Packet Forwarding feature enables you to redirect traffic generated by wireless clients that
are all associated to the same AP to a single MAC address. This filters wireless traffic without
burdening the AP and provides additional security by limiting potential destinations or by routing
the traffic directly to a firewall. You can redirect to a specific port (Ethernet or WDS) or allow the
bridge's learning process (and the forwarding table entry for the selected MAC address) to
determine the optimal port.
Note:
The gateway to which traffic will be redirected should be node on the Ethernet
Note:
network. It should not be a wireless client.

Configuring Interfaces for Packet Forwarding

To configure interfaces for packet forwarding, specifying interface ports to which packets are
redirected and a destination MAC address, as follows:
1. Within the Packet Forwarding Configuration screen, check the box labeled Enable Packet
Forwarding.
2. Specify a destination Packet Forwarding MAC Address. The AP will redirect all unicast,
multicast, and broadcast packets received from wireless clients to the address you specify.
3. Select a Packet Forwarding Interface Port from the drop-down menu. You can redirect
traffic to:
Any (traffic is redirected to a port based on the bridge learning process)
●
Ethernet
●
A WDS connection (see
●
4. Click OK to save your changes.
