Filter Examples
These examples illustrate how to set both Ethernet and IP tunnel filters to
optimize network performance. The next illustration includes:
ˆ wireless end devices using TCP/IP to communicate with other devices.
ˆ a secondary LAN containing IP and IPX hosts, linked by AP2 and AP4.
ˆ an IPX router connecting to another Novell network.
ˆ DIX and 802.3 SNAP frames.
This illustration shows a typical network that will be used in the next
examples.
Example 1
The root (AP1), AP3, AP5, and AP6 service only wireless end devices.
These access points need to pass IP traffic, but not pass IPX traffic that
does not need to be forwarded to the primary or secondary LAN.
