Therefore, a given source frame will be incoming from the LAN to
the Bridge and outgoing from the Bridge to the WAN (provided it
does not get blocked due to filtering). Refer to Figure 31.

value on all links that are referencing this table. If this value is
chosen, skip the List of Links.

following parameter, List of Links. Links in this list pass the
frame. Links not in this list block the frame.

• BLOCKLIST: If this value is used, a block list is specified by

the parameter, List of Links. Links in this list block the frame.
Links not in this list pass the frame.
