Configuring IP Filtering

Use the Access Point's IP filtering functionality to determine which IP packets are processed normally
by the Access Point and which are discarded. If discarded, a packet is deleted and ignored (as if never
received). The allow/deny mechanism used by IP filtering makes it similar to an access control list
(ACL).
