3.6.1. Packet Filters
The AP provides layer 2 (Ethernet Type Filters), layer 3 (IP Protocol Filters), and layer 4 (TCP/UDP
Port Filters) filtering capabilities. The configuration processes for the filters are similar.
Functionality: whether this filtering capability is enabled or disabled.
Policy for matched packets: how a matched packet is processed—discard or pass.
To enable a filtering rule: select the check box to the left of the rule.
3.6.1.1. Ethernet Type Filters
Fig. 54. Ethernet type filters settings.
The Ethernet type filed of the MAC (Media Access Control) header of a packet incoming from the
WLAN or Ethernet interface is inspected for filtering. In a rule, specify the hex-decimal Ethernet type
number and give the rule a name.
