The final rule in the default filter should be a catch-all rule for any traffic that did
not match a filter. A final Allow All rule in a default filter will ensure that a packet
is not dropped entirely if no other match can be found. VNS Policy is also
applicable for Captive Portal and MAC-based authorization.
To define the filtering rules for a default filter:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual
Network Configuration page is displayed.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to define the
filtering rules for a default filter. The Topology tab is displayed.
3. Click the Filtering tab.
4. From the Filter ID drop-down list, click Default.
The Filtering tab automatically provides a Deny All rule already in place. This
rule can be modified to Allow All, if appropriate to the network access needs
for this VNS.
