5. Firewall
The system provides an added security feature, Layer2 Firewall, in addition to the typical AP security.
Layer2 Firewall offers a firewall function that is tailored specifically for Layer2 traffic, providing another
choice of shield against possible security threats coming from/going to WLAN (AP interfaces); hence,
besides firewall policies configured on gateways, this extra security feature will assist to mitigate
possible security breach. This section provides information in the following functions: Firewall Lists,
Service and Advanced Firewall Settings.
