Rules comprise of conditions and actions. A condition describes a packet traffic stream. A
condition defines constraints on the source and destination devices, the service (for example,
protocols and ports), and the incoming interface. An action describes what should occur to packets
matching set conditions. For example, if a packet stream meets all conditions, traffic is permitted,
authenticated and sent to the destination device.
Additionally, IP and MAC rule based firewall filtering can be deployed to apply firewall policies to
traffic being bridged by radios. IP and MAC filtering can be employed to permit or restrict traffic
exchanged between hosts, hosts residing on separate WLANs or hosts forwarding traffic to wired
devices.
