setting up the MAC filtering policy and the MAC filtering rules. MAC Filtering is only
effective on ATM PVCs configured in Bridge mode.

except those matching with any of the specified rules in the following table.
BLOCKED means that all MAC layer frames will be BLOCKED except those
matching with any of the specified rules in the following table. The default is
FORWARD; you change by clicking the
Change Policy button.
Choose Add or Remove to configure MAC filtering rules. The following screen
pops up when you click Add . Create a filter to identify the MAC layer frames by
specifying at least one condition below. If multiple conditions are specified, all of
them take effect. Click
Apply to save and activate the filter.
