Filter:
The next tab on the dialog box is Filter (Figure 12). This is a one-way protocol
filtering mechanism that prevents the AP from transmitting certain protocols from
the Wired Ethernet LAN into the Wireless zone. If you do not require particular
protocols on the wireless part of your network you can save bandwidth by enabling
the protocol filter.
Figure 12. Configuration/Filter
From the Filter tab, some, all, or none of the protocols listed may be selected for
filtering out:
• IP protocol
• IPX protocol
• NetBEUI protocol
• AppleTalk protocol
• Other protocols
After selecting a protocol for filtering, click the Apply button to make the changes
effective immediately, without closing the dialog box, or click OK to accept the
changes and close the box. Clicking Add to APMS Host Table will add the
information to the host table referred to by the APMS program.
