Bridge Filters
Bridge filters are used to block or allow various types of packets through the WAN interface. This may be done for
security or to improve network efficiency. The rules are configured for individual devices based on MAC address. Filter
rules can be set up for source, destination or both. You can set up filter rules and disable the entire set of rules without
loosing the rules that have been configured.
Enter the Advanced menu and click Bridge Filters button in the wizard column to open the Bridge Filters page.
Bridge Filters window
To add a bridge filter rule, check Enable Bridge Filters, type in a Source MAC, a Destination MAC or both in the
entry fields, and click the Add button. To edit an existing rule, select the rule by clicking the Edit radio button. The rule
will appear in the entry fields above as it is currently configured. Make the desired changes and click the Add button.
To remove a bridge filter from the table in the bottom half of the window, click to select the corresponding Delete box,
and then click Apply.
To save these configuration changes permanently, enter the System Commands page in Tools menu, click Save All
button to save the configuration setting.
The protocols that may be specifically allowed or denied to pass through the WAN interface are the following: IPv4,
IPv6, RARP, IPX-Ethernet, PPPoE Discovery and PPPoE Session.
