Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration
Access Point Configuration Menu Options
4.3 Access Point Configuration Menu Options
The Access Point Configuration main menu consists of three sub-menus:
MAC Bridge Parameters, Mobility Configuration, and Mobile IP Parameters.
4.4 MAC Bridge Parameters
The MAC Bridge parameters consist of protocol filters that direct the 9150 to
forward or discard frames that contain a known protocol type. This enables the 9150
to be selective of what types of frames will be bridged over the radio, in order to
limit traffic on busy networks. Filtering frames is based on the protocol information
in the frame. This is discussed in detail in “Protocol Filters” on page 83.
The MAC Bridge Parameters page is entered from the Access Point Configuration
menu on the first page, as shown above.
Figure 4.6 on page 76 charts the pages for the MAC bridge filters. Entering “OK” or
“Cancel” in the individual Filter pages will return you to the Bridge Parameters page.
