5.1.2.2 Setting the Type Filter Configuration
Each AP-5131 LAN (either LAN1 or LAN2) can keep a list of frame types that it forwards or discards.
The Type Filtering feature prevents specific (a potentially unneccesary) frames from being processed
by the AP-5131 in order to improve throughput. These include certain broadcast frames from devices
that consume bandwidth, but are unnecessary to AP-5131 operations.
Use the Ethernet Type Filter Configuration screen to build a list of filter types and configure them
as either allowed or denied for use with the this particular LAN.
To configure type filtering on the AP-5131:
1. Select Network Configuration-> LAN -> LAN1 (or LAN2)-> Type Filter from the
AP-5131 menu tree.
The Ethernet Type Filter Configuration screen displays for the LAN. No Ethernet types
are displayed (by default) when the screen is first launched.
2. Use the all ethernet types, except drop-down menu to designate whether the Ethernet
Types defined for the LAN are allowed or denied for use by the AP-5131.
