Custom Filter Configuration 3-9
Custom Filter Configuration
You can control the traffic that flows through the bridge by using
the bridge's custom filters. For example, you can prevent
communication between specific devices, and allow only TCP/IP
communication between specific bridge ports. The basic concepts
of custom filtering are explained in
Bridge Filters
on page 1-20.
If you are unfamiliar with filtering, it is easy to produce
unexpected results. You should plan your filter sets carefully
before configuring custom filters.
This section describes how to set up the custom filters. The Filter
Options screen is used for saving and making custom filtering
effective. This is also explained in this section.
