Name
If desired, enter a custom name for a default or
new rule. If you intend to use a Prefix filter, a
best practice would be to name the rule with the
AP manufacturer's name.
Prefix filter
Use the Prefix filter to create a rule for a specific
AP manufacturer's BSSID scheme, meaning a
rule for just one AP manufacturer prefix. The
default rules all contain a default Prefix filter of
000000-000000.
If a Prefix filter is non-zero, its second and third
bytes are compared to discovered BSSIDs before
the Filter mask (described below) is applied.
These two bytes must match exactly, or the two
BSSIDs are not grouped together. This behavior
allows you to specify a fairly open Filter mask,
because the mask applies only to one man-
ufacturer.
For example, you could have Cisco APs whose
BSSIDs all start with b83861. By specifying a
Prefix filter of 003861-000000, you limit the
grouping rule to just those APs.
