Filter Setup
This section describes how to set up filtering to control the flow of data through the access point. You
can filter data based on protocols and MAC addresses. Each type of filtering is explained in the following
sections:
• Protocol Filtering, page 5-2
• MAC Address Filtering, page 5-6
Protocol Filtering
Protocol filters prevent or allow the use of specific protocols through the access point. You can set up
individual protocol filters and enable each filter for one or more VLANs. You can filter protocols for
wireless client devices, users on the wired LAN, or both. For example, an SNMP filter on the access
point’s radio port prevents wireless client devices from using SNMP with the access point but does not
block SNMP access from the wired LAN.
Use the Protocol Filters Setup page create and enable protocol filters for the access point’s Ethernet port
and for the access point’s radio port. The Protocol Filters Setup page is shown on Figure 5-1.
