22.7.1 Ethernet Traffic
You seldom need to filter Ethernet traffic; however, the filter sets may be useful to block certain packets, reduce traffic and prevent security breaches. Go to menu 3.1 (shown next) and type the number(s) of the filter set(s) that you want to apply as appropriate. You can choose up to four filter sets (from twelve) by typing their numbers separated by commas, for example, 3, 4, 6, 11. The factory default filter set, NetBIOS_LAN, is inserted in the protocol filters field under Input Filter Sets in menu 3.1 in order to prevent local NetBIOS messages from triggering calls to the DNS server.

The factory default filter set, NetBIOS_WAN, is inserted in the protocol filters field under Call Filter Sets in menu 11.5 to block local NetBIOS traffic from triggering calls to the ISP.
