Configuring Advanced Filters

You can configure advanced filters if you need more flexibility in your filtering. Settings for advanced filters execute after those for other filters; that is, advanced filters are only applied if the frame has passed the other filters.

You can use filter values and filter expressions to minimize network traffic over the wireless links; however, Allied Telesyn recommends that you use advanced Ethernet filters only if you have an extensive understanding of network frames and their contents. Use other existing filters whenever possible.

Setting Filter Values

You can associate an ID with a pattern value by selecting a filter and then entering an ID and a value. All values with the same value ID belong to the same list.

To set the value ID and value

1.From the main menu, click Ethernet > Advanced Filters. The Filter Values screen appears.
