Chapter 14 Configuring Filters Configuring Filters Using the Web-Browser Interface Configuring and Enabling MAC Address Filters MAC address filters allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast and multicast packets either sent from or addressed 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. You can apply the filters you create to either or both the Ethernet and radio ports and to either or both incoming and outgoing packets. Note MAC address filters are powerful, and you can lock yourself out of the bridge if you make a mistake setting up the filters. If you accidentally lock yourself out of your bridge, use the CLI to disable the filters, or use the Mode button on the bridge power injector to reset the bridge to factory defaults. Use the MAC Address Filters page to create MAC address filters for the bridge. Figure 14-1 shows the MAC Address Filters page.
