Filters
The filter configuration allows you to customize the type of traffic which is forwarded from the
Ethernet network to the RangeLAN2 network. When a box is checked, this indicates that traffic that
meets the corresponding filter characteristic (e.g., Protocol Type) will be filtered OUT, and will
NOT be forwarded.
The NON-RANGELAN2 ADDRESS FILTER, when checked, will prevent traffic which is des-
tined to a non-broadcast, non-multicast, non-RangeLAN2 address from being forwarded from
Ethernet to wireless. DO NOT use this filter when using the node address overwrite feature on
RangeLAN2 stations.
The NOVELL IPX BROADCAST FILTERS prevent IPX broadcasts of the specified types from
being forwarded from Ethernet to RangeLAN2. Since RIP, SAP, and LSP broadcasts are of interest
to routers and not end stations, these can filters can typically be turned on.
The PROTOCOL TYPE FILTERS prevent traffic of a particular protocol type from being for-
warded from Ethernet to RangeLAN2. When "Other Types" is checked, all types other than those
listed will be filtered out. DO NOT filter out the types of packets you know RangeLAN2 nodes will
need to receive. For example, if you use TCP/IP as a protocol on your network, do not filter IP/
ARP traffic. If you have Macintosh computers on your Ethernet network that send AppleTalk
traffic only to each other, you may want to filter those packets from RangeLAN2 stations.
