Configuring Advanced Filters

You can configure advanced filters if you need more flexibility in your
filtering. Settings for advanced filters execute after those for other filters;
that is, advanced filters are only applied if the frame has passed the
other filters.

You can use filter values and filter expressions to minimize network
traffic over the wireless links; however, Allied Telesyn recommends that
you use advanced Ethernet filters only if you have an extensive
understanding of network frames and their contents. Use other existing
filters whenever possible.

Setting Filter Values

You can associate an ID with a pattern value by selecting a filter, and
then entering an ID and a value. All values with the same value ID belong
to the same list.
