Bridge Filters

The bridge filtering mechanism provides a way for the users to define rules to allow/deny frames

through the bridge based on source MAC address, destination MAC address and/or frame type.

When bridge filtering is enabled, each frame is examined against the defined filter rules

sequentially, and when a match is determined, the appropriate filtering action (determined by the

access type selected, i.e. allow or deny) is performed. The user should note that the bridge filter

only examines frames from interfaces that are part of the bridge itself. Twenty filter rules are

supported with bridge filtering.

The
