NOTE

Once filter policies have been defined, they can then be applied to traffic on either of the two access
point LAN ports or any of the 16 access point WLANs. The procedure for applying a filtering policy is
the same, as both the LAN1/LAN2 and WLAN screens display the same IP Filtering sub screen for
this operation. For more information, see Applying a Filter to LAN1, LAN2 or a WLAN (1-16) on page
5-183
.

3. If necessary, select an existing policy and select the Del button to permanently remove the

filtering policy from those available.

without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.

5. Click Undo Changes to securely exit the IP Filtering screen without saving your changes.

before the applet is closed.
