MAC/IP/Port Filtering

MAC/IP/Port filtering restricts connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and
defends against a wide array of common hacker attacks. IP/Port filtering allows the
unit to permit, deny or proxy traffic through its MAC addresses, IP addresses and
ports.
The wireless AP/Router allows you define a sequential list of permit or deny filtering
rules (up to 32). This device tests ingress packets against the filter rules one by one.
A packet will be accepted as soon as it matches a permit rule, or dropped as soon
as it matches a deny rule. If no rules match, the packet is either accepted or dropped
depending on the default policy setting.
