If you choose not to configure this table, the designated bridge or WAP
may need to flood frames to the Ethernet and radio ports to learn the path
to the MAC address.
These addresses become permanent entries in the forwarding table of the
designated bridge or WAP.
To configure the Ethernet address table
1. From the main menu, click Ethernet > Address Table. The Address
Table screen appears.
2. Enter up to 20 MAC addresses. MAC addresses consist of six hex
pairs that are separated by spaces, colons, or hyphens.
3. Click Submit Changes to save your changes. To activate your
changes, from the menu bar click Save/Discard Changes, and then
click Save Changes and Reboot. For help, see “Saving Configuration
Changes” on page 45.
Configuring
Ethernet Filters
You can set both Ethernet and IP tunnel filters, and you can create
protocol filters for both predefined and user-defined protocol types. In
addition, you can define arbitrary frame filters based on frame content.
Setting Ethernet filters prevents the Ethernet port from sending out
unnecessary traffic to the wireless network.
Ethernet frame type filter and predefined subtype filter settings override
customizable subtype filter settings. However, Allied Telesyn recommends
that when creating customizable subtype filters, you do not duplicate
existing frame type or predefined subtype filters or unexpected results may
occur.
