Default Unicast Address Filter, Specified Access Points, Disallowed

Page 77 highlights

Chapter 3 Configuration Radio Configuration Default Unicast Address Filter Unicast MAC address filters allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast packets sent to specific MAC addresses. You can create a filter that passes traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify, or you can create a filter that blocks traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify. Read the "Setting Up MAC-Based Authentication" section on page 4-29 for complete instructions on using MAC-based authentication on an authentication server. Read the "Creating a MAC Address Filter" section on page 3-15 for complete instructions on setting up MAC address filters. The pull-down menus for unicast address filters contain two options: • Allowed-The access point forwards all traffic except packets sent to the MAC addresses listed as disallowed on the Address Filters page. • Disallowed-The access point discards all traffic except packets sent to the MAC addresses listed as allowed on the Address Filters page or on your authentication server. Select Disallowed for each authentication type that also uses MAC-based authentication. Note If you plan to discard traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify (the Disallowed setting), be sure to enter your own MAC address as allowed on the Address Filters page or on your authentication server. Specified Access Points Use these fields to set up a chain of repeater access points (access points without an Ethernet connection; see Figure 3-3). Repeater access points function best when they associate with specific access points connected to the wired LAN. You use these fields to specify the access points that provide the most efficient data transmission link for the repeater. If this access point is a repeater, type the MAC address of one or more root-unit access points with which you want this access point to associate. With MAC addresses in these fields, the repeater access point always tries to associate with the specified access points instead of with other less-efficient access points.

Default Unicast Address Filter
Unicast MAC address filters allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast packets
sent to specific MAC addresses. You can create a filter that passes traffic to all
MAC addresses except those you specify, or you can create a filter that blocks
traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify.
Read the
Setting Up MAC-Based Authentication
section on page 4-29
for
complete instructions on using MAC-based authentication on an authentication
server. Read the
Creating a MAC Address Filter
section on page 3-15
for
complete instructions on setting up MAC address filters.
The pull-down menus for unicast address filters contain two options:
Allowed
The access point forwards all traffic except packets sent to the
MAC addresses listed as disallowed on the Address Filters page.
Disallowed
The access point discards all traffic except packets sent to the
MAC addresses listed as allowed on the Address Filters page or on your
authentication server.
Select
Disallowed
for each authentication type that also uses MAC-based
authentication.
Note
If you plan to discard traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify (the
Disallowed setting), be sure to enter your own MAC address as allowed on the
Address Filters page or on your authentication server.
Specified Access Points
Use these fields to set up a chain of repeater access points (access points without
an Ethernet connection; see
Figure 3-3
). Repeater access points function best
when they associate with specific access points connected to the wired LAN. You
use these fields to specify the access points that provide the most efficient data
transmission link for the repeater.
If this access point is a repeater, type the MAC address of one or more root-unit
access points with which you want this access point to associate. With MAC
addresses in these fields, the repeater access point always tries to associate with
the specified access points instead of with other less-efficient access points.
