Configuring and Enabling IP Filters

IP filters (IP address, IP protocol, and IP port) prevent or allow the use of specific

protocols through the access point's Ethernet and radio ports. IP address filters

allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast and multicast packets addressed to

specific IP addresses.

You can create a filter that passes traffic to all addresses except those you specify,

or you can create a filter that blocks traffic to all addresses except those you

specify. You can create filters that contain elements of one, two, or all three IP

filtering methods. You can apply the filters you create to either or both the

Ethernet and radio ports and to either or both incoming and outgoing packets.
