Advanced > Bridge Filters

Bridge filters are used to block or allow various types of packets through the WAN interface. This may be done for security or to improve network efficiency. The rules are configured for individual devices based on MAC address. Filter rules can be set up for source, destination or both. You can set up filter rules and disable the entire set of rules without loosing the rules that have been configured.

The user may also specify a protocol to be filtered by using the pull-down menu, and then choose either Allow, to allow the specified protocol to pass through the router, or Deny to filter the protocol from the router. The protocols that may be specifically allowed or denied to pass through the WAN interface are IPv4, IPv6, RARP, PPPoE Discovery and PPPoE Session. Click the Add
