Configuring IP Filtering
Use the access point’s IP filtering functionality to determine which IP packets are processed normally by
the access point and which are discarded. If discarded, a packet is deleted and ignored (as if never
received). The allow/deny mechanism used by IP filtering makes it similar to an
access control list
(ACL).
IP filtering supports the creation of up to 18 filter rules enforced at layer 3. Once defined (using the
access point’s SNMP or CLI), filtering rules can be enforced on the access point’s LAN1 or LAN2
None This option disables the RIP authentication.
Simple This option enable RIP version 2’s simple authentication
mechanism. This setting activates the Password (Simple
Authentication) field.
MD5 This option enables the MD5 algorithm for data verification.
MD5 takes as input a message of arbitrary length and
produces a 128-bit fingerprint. The MD5 setting activates
the RIP v2 Authentication settings for keys (below).
