Configuring IP

Tunnel Filters

You can set both Ethernet and IP tunnel filters, and you can create
protocol filters for predefined protocol types. In addition, you can define
arbitrary frame filters based on frame content.

By default, all IP tunnel traffic (except NNL traffic) is dropped. IP tunnel
filters are only outbound filters. That is, when you configure IP tunnel filters
in the root access point, you are only defining what type of traffic the root
will send through the tunnel. The root will receive anything sent to it by the
access point at the endpoint of the tunnel. The access point at the
endpoint of the tunnel acts the same way. In order for a particular type of
traffic to pass, you need to set the same filters to pass in both in the root
access point and in the access point at the endpoint of a tunnel.

For help configuring Ethernet filters, see “Configuring Ethernet Filters” on
page 81.

Using IP Tunnel Frame Type Filters

The IP tunnel port automatically provides some filtering for wireless end
devices. You can define permanent IP tunnel port filters to prevent
unwanted frame forwarding through an IP tunnel. ICMP frames with the
following types are always forwarded:
