11 - 2 Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge

Overview

If your Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge is connected to an infrastructure

with a large amount of multi-protocol trafﬁc, you may be able to reduce

the amount of radio trafﬁc by blocking out (ﬁltering) those addresses or

protocols that are not needed.

This ﬁltering is especially important for battery operated radio nodes

which might otherwise have to waste considerable battery power

receiving multicast messages which are not relevant and will only be

discarded.

Filtering is only applied to trafﬁc coming from the wired LAN. No

ﬁltering is done of trafﬁc coming from the radio nodes.

Using the Filter Menu

The Filter Menu is used to control the forwarding of data packets.

To access this menu, select Filter from the Main Menu.

NOTE: In order to achieve consistent performance on your infrastructure,

any conﬁgurations that you set in the Filter Menu should be duplicated on

all Ethernet or Token Ring Bridges. This maintains consistency as nodes

roam.
