6.4.1 Editing an Existing Wireless Filter

Use the

Edit

screen to modify the properties of an existing filter. This is recommended if an existing filter

contains adequate device address information, but the allow/deny permissions need to be changed or if only
minor changes are required to the starting and ending MAC addresses. If significant changes are required to
a usable filter, consider creating a new one.

To edit an existing filter:

1. Select

Special Features> Filters

from the main menu tree.

2. Select one of the existing ACLs from the filters list.

3. Click the

Edit

button at the bottom of the screen to launch a new dialogue used for editing an ACL.

Within the screen the user can modify an ACL Index (numerical identifier) for the ACL, and edit the
starting an ending MAC address range for the devices allowed or denied access to the switch managed
network.

4. The

Station-ACL Index

is used as an identifier for a MAC Address range and allow/deny ACL

designation. The available index range is 1 - 1000. However, the index is not editable, only its starting/
ending MAC range and allow/deny designation. If a new index is needed, create a new filter.

5. Modify the existing

Starting MAC

for the target Index or leave the

Starting MAC

value as is and just

modify the

Ending MAC

Address or

Allow

/

Deny

designation.

6. Modify the existing

Ending MAC

for the target Index. Enter the same Starting MAC address within the

Ending MAC

field to use only the

Starting MAC

address as either allowed or denied access to the

switch managed network.

7. Use the drop-down menu to select

Allow

or

Deny

.

This rule applies to the MUs within the specified Starting and Ending MAC Address range. For example,
if the adoption rule is to Allow, access is granted for all MUs within the specified range.

8. Refer to the

Status

field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error

messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.

9. Click

OK

to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
