Packet Forwarding (Pkt Fwd)
The Packet Forwarding feature enables you to redirect traffic generated by wireless clients that are all associated to
the same AP to a single MAC address. This filters wireless traffic without burdening the AP and provides additional
security by limiting potential destinations or by routing the traffic directly to a firewall. You can redirect to a specific port
(Ethernet or WDS) or allow the bridge’s learning process (and the forwarding table entry for the selected MAC
address) to determine the optimal port.
NOTE
The gateway to which traffic will be redirected should be node on the Ethernet network. It should not be a
wireless client.
To configure interfaces for packet forwarding, specifying interface port(s) to which packets are redirected and a
destination MAC address, as follows:
1. Within the Packet Forwarding Configuration screen, check the box labeled Enable Packet Forwarding.
2. Specify a destination Packet Forwarding MAC Address. The AP will redirect all unicast, multicast, and broadcast
packets received from wireless clients to the address you specify.
3. Select a Packet Forwarding Interface Port from the drop-down menu. You can redirect traffic to:
– Any Interface (traffic is redirected to a port based on the bridge learning process)
– Ethernet
– A WDS connection (see Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for details)
4. Click OK to save your changes.
QoS (Quality of Service)
This feature is not supported in the AP. Clicking on this tab displays the following message: “The Quality of Service
