Bridge Filters
Bridge filters are used to block or allow various types of packets through the WAN interface. This may be
done for security or to improve network efficiency. The rules are configured for individual devices based on
MAC address. Filter rules can be set up for source, destination or both. You can set up filter rules and disable
the entire set of rules without loosing the rules that have been configured.
