The following fields are may be configured or viewed:
• Wired MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the device on the Ethernet network that you want to prevent from
communicating with a device on the wireless network.
• Wired Mask: Enter the appropriate bit mask to specify the range of MAC addresses to which this filter is to apply. To
specify only the single MAC address you entered in the Wired MAC Address field, enter 00:00:00:00:00:00 (all
zeroes).
• Wireless MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the wireless device on the wireless interface that you want to
prevent from communicating with a device on the wired network.
• Wireless Mask: Enter the appropriate bit mask to specify the range of MAC addresses to which this filter is to apply.
To specify only the single MAC address you entered in the Wireless MAC Address field, enter 00:00:00:00:00:00 (all
zeroes).
• Comment: Enter related information.

Storm Threshold
Click Configure > Filtering > Storm Threshold to use threshold limits to prevent broadcast/multicast overload.
Storm Threshold is an advanced Bridge setup option that you can use to protect the network against data overload by
specifying:
• A maximum number of frames per second as received from a single network device (identified by its MAC address).
• An absolute maximum number of messages per port.
The Storm Threshold parameters let you specify a set of thresholds for each port of the unit, identifying separate values
for the number of broadcast messages per second and multicast messages per second.
When the number of frames for a port or identified station exceeds the maximum value per second, the unit ignores all
subsequent messages issued by the particular network device, or ignores all messages of that type.
The following parameters are configurable:
• Per Address Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
• Ethernet Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
• Wireless Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
