Note:

Use caution when creating and implementing filters. Improperly adding filters and filtersets increases the possibility of loss of communication

with the 2247-N8 and the Internet.

Filters are not a substitute for password protection, effective safeguarding of passwords, and general awareness of how your network may be vulnera-
ble.

Before creating filters, you should read the next few sections to learn more about how these powerful security tools work.
