Wireless Access Point
394 Configuring the Wireless AP
Non- critical traffic from applications like YouTube may be given lower
priority (QoS) or bandwidth allowed may be capped per station or for all
stations.
Traffic flows for specific applications may be controlled by sending them
into VLANs that are designated for that type of traffic.
Filters may be applied at specified times—for example, no games allowed
from 8 AM to 6 PM.
Note that filtering is secondary to the stateful inspection performed by the
integrated firewall. Traffic for established connections is passed through without
the application of these filtering rules.
Procedure for Managing Filters
1. Insert Filter Presets: A number of predefined “Air Cleaner” filters are
available using these buttons. You can use these rules to eliminate a great
deal of unnecessary wireless traffic, resulting in improved performance.
Web Access Only may be selected to allow only web access protocols to
be used. For more information, please see “Air Cleaner” on page 466.
When you select one of the filter presets, the appropriate filters will be
added to the list, so that you can see exactly what settings have been
used.
2. Filter List: Select the filter list to display and manage on this window. All
of the filters already defined for this list are shown, and you may create
additional filters for this list. You may create up to 50 filters per list (up to
25 per list on the XR-500 Series).
3. Add a New Filter: To add a new filter, enter its name in the field next to
the Create button at the bottom of the filter list, then click Create. All new
filters are added to the table of filters in the window. The filter name must
be unique within the list, but it may have the same name as a filter in a
different filter list. Two filters with the same name in different filter lists
will be completely unrelated to each other — they may be defined with
different parameter values.
