292 Configuring the Wi-Fi Array
Note that filtering is secondary to the stateful inspection performed by the
integrated firewall. Traffic for established connections is passed through without
the application of these filtering rules.
Procedure for Managing Filters
1. Filter List: Select the filter list to display and manage on this window. All
of the filters already defined for this list are shown, and you may create
additional filters for this list.
2. New Filter Name: Enter a name for the new filter in the field next to the
Create button, then click on the Create button to create the filter. All new
filters are added to the table of filters at the top of the window. The filter
name must be unique within the list, but it may have the same name as a
filter in a different filter list. Two filters with the same name in different
filter lists will be completely unrelated to each other—they may be
defined with different parameter values.
3. Filter: Choose a filter entry to modify from the list at the top of the
window.
4. On: Use this field to enable or disable this filter.
5. Deny: Choose whether this filter will be an Allow filter or a Deny filter. If
you define the filter as an Allow filter, then any associations that meet the
filter criteria will be allowed. If you define the filter as a Deny filter, any
associations that meet the filter criteria will be denied.
6. Protocol: Choose a specific filter protocol from the pull-down list, or
choose numeric and enter a Number, or choose any to instruct the Array
to use the best filter. This is a match criterion.
7. Port: From the pull-down list, choose the type of port on which you want
this filter to be active, or choose 1-65534 and enter a Number, or choose
any to instruct the Array to apply the filter to any port. This is a match
criterion.
