3.6. Configuring Advanced Settings
3.6.1. Packet Filters
The IEEE 802.11b/g provides layer 2 (Ethernet Type Filters), layer 3 (IP Protocol Filters), and layer 4
(TCP/UDP Port Filters) filtering capabilities. The configuration processes for the filters are similar.
Functionality: whether this filtering capability is enabled or disabled.
Policy for matched packets: how a matched packet is processed—discard or pass.
To enable a filtering rule: select the check box to the left of the rule.
3.6.1.1. Ethernet Type Filters
Fig. 51: Ethernet type filters settings
The Ethernet type filed of the MAC (Media Access Control) header of a packet incoming from the
WLAN or Ethernet interface is inspected for filtering. In a rule, specify the hex-decimal Ethernet type
number and give the rule a name.
