The rules defined for port exception filters are prepended to the normal set of
restrictive exception filters and have precedence over the system's normal
protection enforcement.
Warning: If defined improperly, user exception rules may seriously compromise
the systems normal security enforcement rules. They may also disrupt the
system's normal operation and even prevent system functionality altogether. It is
advised to only augment the exception-filtering mechanism if absolutely
necessary.
To define port exception filters:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless Controller Configuration. The HiPath
Wireless Controller Configuration page is displayed.
2. In the left pane, click Port Exception Filters. The Port Exception Filters
page is displayed.
3. In the Port drop-down list, click the applicable data port.
4. In the IP / subnet: port box, type the destination IP address. You can also
specify an IP range, a port designation or a port range on that IP address.
5. In the Protocol drop-down list, click the protocol you want to specify for the
filter. This list may include UDP, TCP, IPsec-ESP, IPsec-AH, ICMP. The
default is N/A.
