1.1.1 IP Filtering
IP filtering determines which IP packets are processed normally and which are discarded. If discarded,
the packet is deleted and completely ignored (as if never received). Optionally apply different criteria
to better refine which packets to filter.
IP filtering supports the creation of up to 18 filter rules enforced at layer 3. Once defined (using the
access point’s SNMP, GUI or CLI), filtering rules can be enforced on the access point’s LAN1, LAN2
and WLAN interfaces. An additional default action is also available denying traffic when the filter
rules fail. Lastly, imported and exported configurations retain their defined IP filtering configurations.
For information on configuring the access point’s IP filtering functionality, see
Configuring IP Filtering
on page 5-75
