4.3 Firewall

The system provides an added security feature, L2 firewall, in addition to typical AP security. Layer-2 firewall offers

a firewall function that is tailored specifically for layer 2 traffics, providing another choice of shield against possible

security threats coming from/going to WLAN (AP interfaces); hence, besides firewall policies configured on

gateways, this extra security feature will assist to mitigate possible security breach.

It provides an overview of firewall rules in the system; 6 default rules with up to total 20 firewall rules are available

for configuration.

From the overview table, each rule is designated with the following fields:

♦ No.: The numbering will decide the priority to let the system carry out the available firewall rules in the

table.

♦ State: The check marks will enable the respective rules.

♦ Action: "DROP" denotes a block rule; "ACCEPT" denotes a pass rule.

♦ Name: It shows the name of the rule.

♦ EtherType: It denotes the type of traffics subject to this rule.
