Note: The bridge filter table contains three hidden rules. These rules are entered automatically by the system to ensure that you don't lock yourself out of the system. The first rule allows all ARP frames through the system. The second rule allows all IPv4 frames with the destination MAC address of the router to go through. The third rule allows all IPv4 frames with the source MAC address of the router to go through.

The Apply button will temporarily save these settings. To make the change permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At the System Commands page, click on Save All.

Note: On a windows based machine, you can find a MAC address with the ipconfig

program. At a command prompt, type: ipconfig /all
