Configuring Filters Using the Web-Browser Interface Chapter 14 Configuring Filters Creating a MAC Address Filter Follow these steps to create a MAC address filter: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 Step 10 Step 11 Follow the link path to the MAC Address Filters page. If you are creating a new MAC address filter, make sure (the default) is selected in the Create/Edit Filter Index menu. To edit a filter, select the filter number from the Create/Edit Filter Index menu. In the Filter Index field, name the filter with a number from 700 to 799. The number you assign creates an access control list (ACL) for the filter. Enter a MAC address in the Add MAC Address field. Enter the address with periods separating the three groups of four characters (0040.9612.3456, for example). Use the Mask entry field to indicate how many bits, from left to right, the filter checks against the MAC address. For example, to require an exact match with the MAC address (to check all bits) enter FFFF.FFFF.FFFF. To check only the first 4 bytes, enter FFFF.FFFF.0000. Select Forward or Block from the Action menu. Click Add. The MAC address appears in the Filters Classes field. To remove the MAC address from the Filters Classes list, select it and click Delete Class. Repeat Step 4 through Step 7 to add addresses to the filter. Select Forward All or Block All from the Default Action menu. The filter's default action must be the opposite of the action for at least one of the addresses in the filter. For example, if you enter several addresses and you select Block as the action for all of them, you must choose Forward All as the filter's default action. Click Apply. The filter is saved on the bridge, but it is not enabled until you apply it on the Apply Filters page. Click the Apply Filters tab to return to the Apply Filters page. Figure 14-2 shows the Apply Filters page. Figure 14-2 Apply Filters Page 14-4 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide OL-4059-01
