Configuring Filters
Configuring Filters by Using
Stratix 5100 Device Manager
This section describes how to configure and manage MAC address, IP, and
Ethertype filters on the access point by using the web-browser interface, Stratix
5100 Device Manager.
Protocol filters (IP protocol, IP port, and Ethertype) prevent or allow the use of
specific protocols through the access point’s Ethernet and radio ports. You can set
up individual protocol filters or sets of filters. You can filter protocols for wireless
client devices, users on the wired LAN, or both. For example, an SNMP filter on
the access point’s radio port prevents wireless client devices from using SNMP
with the access point but does not block SNMP access from the wired LAN.
IP address and MAC address filters allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast
and multicast packets addressed to specific IP or MAC addresses. You can create
a filter that passes traffic to all addresses except those you specify, or you can
create a filter that blocks traffic to all addresses except those you specify.
You complete these two steps to configure and enable a filter.
1. Name and configure the filter by using the filter setup pages.
2. Enable the filter.
