Filter Setup
Step3 Select the protocol filter set that you want to enable from the Ethertype, IP Protocol, or IP Port
drop-down menu.
Step4 Click OK. The filter set is enabled.
MAC Address Filtering
MAC address filters allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast and multicast packets either se nt from
or addressed to specific MAC addresses. You can create a filter that passes traffic to all MAC addresses
except those you specify, or you can create a filter that blocks traffic to all MAC addresses except those
you specify.
Note MAC address filters are powerful, and you can lock yourself out of the access point if you make a
mistake setting up the filters. If you accidentally lock yourself out of your access point, follow the
instructions in the Using the Command-Line Interface section on page 2-4 to use the CLI to disable
the filters.
Use the Address Filters page to create MAC address filters for the access point. Figure5-6 shows the
Address Filters page.
