Bridge filters are used to
block or allow various
types of packets through
the WAN interface. This
may be done for security
or to improve network
efficiency. The rules are
configured for individual
devices based on MAC
address. Filter rules can
be set up for source,
destination or both. You
can set up filter rules
and disable the entire
set
of rules without
loosing the rules that
have been configured.
