Static MAC Address Filter
To filter out traffic exchanged between stations that is not required to be sent or
received via the wireless interface, you can set the
Static MAC address Filter
in the
bottom section of the
Bridge
tab. The default value,
<None>
will be acceptable for
most networking environments (see Figure 8-1 on page 8-5).
You can use the MAC filtering option for example to filter broadcast or
multicast messages exchanged between wired servers that can receive each
others messages also via the wired network.
