Avaya AP-4, AP-6, AP-5 manual Filtering

Filtering

For example, you can set up a Static MAC filter to prevent wireless clients from communicating with a specific server on the Ethernet network. You can also use this filter to block unnecessary multicast packets from being forwarded to the wireless network.

NOTE:

The Static MAC Filter is an advanced feature. You may find it easier to control wireless traffic via other filtering options, such as Ethernet Protocol Filtering.

Each static MAC entry contains the following fields:

•Wired MAC Address

•Wired Mask

•Wireless MAC Address

•Wireless Mask

•Comment: This field is optional.

Each MAC Address or Mask is comprised of 12 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F) that correspond to a 48-bit identifier. (Each hexadecimal digit represents 4 bits (0 or 1).)
