Filters Page
Protocol filters prevent or allow the use of specific protocols through the
interface. You can set up individual protocol filters or sets of filters. This base
page enables you to apply the filters for incoming and outgoing Ethernet and
802.11b Radio interfaces. Filters must be created before they can be applied.
Figure 64 - Filters Page
Any filters you set on the MAC Address, IP Filters, or Ethertype Filters pages are
not applied until they are enabled on this Apply Filters page.
Apply filters with caution. Misconfigured filters can lock you out of the access
point. If this happens, the recovery methods are console port accesses (if
available) or resetting of the access point to the default configuration.
For more information about resetting the WAP to the default configuration, see
Reset the WAP to Default Settings on page 55 .
