SMC2586W-G supports IEEE 802.1x and can be configured to communicate
with two RADIUS servers. When the primary RADIUS server fails to respond,
SMC2586W-G will try to communicate with the secondary RADIUS server.
You can specify the length of timeout and the number of retries before com-
municating with the secondary RADIUS server after failing to communicate
with the primary RADIUS server.
An IEEE 802.1x-capable wireless access point and its RADIUS server(s) share
a secret key so that they can authenticate each other. In addition to its IP
address, a wireless access point can identify itself by an NAS (Network
Access Server) identifier. Each IEEE 802.1x-capable wireless access point
must have a unique NAS identifier.

Packet Filters
The SMC2586W-G provides layer 2 (Ethernet Type Filters), layer 3 (IP
Protocol Filters), and layer 4 (TCP/UDP Port Filters) filtering capabilities.
The configuration processes for the filters are similar.
Functionality:
whether this filtering capability is enabled or disabled.
Policy for matched packets:
how a matched packet is processed—discard or pass.
To enable a filtering rule:
