General System Configuration
Setting up Filter Control
Setting up Filter Control
The access point can employ network traffic frame filtering to control access
to network resources and increase security.
You can prevent communications between wireless clients associated to the
access point, only allowing traffic between clients and the wired network. You
can also prevent any wireless client from performing any access point config-
uration through any of its management interfaces, including web, Telnet, or
SNMP access. Frame filtering can also be enabled to control specific Ethernet
protocol traffic that is forwarded to or from wireless clients.
Web: Setting Traffic Filters
The Filter Control window on the Configuration tab to configure frame filtering
on the access point’s wireless and Ethernet interfaces.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ IAPP: Enables Inter Access Point Protocol (IAPP) signaling required to
ensure the successful handover of wireless clients roaming between
different IEEE 802.11f-compliant access points. The IEEE 802.11f
protocol can ensure successful roaming between access points in a multi-
vendor environment.
■ Local Bridge Filter: Controls wireless-to-wireless communications
between clients through the access point. However, it does not affect
communications between wireless clients and the wired network.
• Disable: Allows wireless-to-wireless communications between
clients through the access point.
• Enable: Blocks wireless-to-wireless communications between
clients through the access point.
■ AP Management Filter: Controls management access to the access
point from wireless clients. Management interfaces include the web,
Telnet, or SNMP.
• Disable: Allows management access from wireless clients.
• Enable: Blocks management access from wireless clients.
■ Ethernet Type Filter: Controls checks on the Ethernet type of all
incoming and outgoing packets against the protocol filtering table.
• Disable: Access point does not filter Ethernet protocol types.
