4. 4 64 Avaya Wireless AP 3 User s Guide a Filtering Taken together a MAC Address Mask pair specifies an address or a range of MAC addresses that the AP will look for when examining packets The AP uses Boolean logic to perform an AND operation between the MAC Address and the Mask at the bit level However for most users you do not need to think in terms of bits It should be sufficient to create a filter using only the hexadecimal digits 0 and F in the Mask where 0 is any value and F is the value specified in the MAC address A Mask of 00 00 00 00 00 00 corresponds to all MAC addresses and a Mask of FF FF FF FF FF FF applies only to the specified MAC Address Example For example if the MAC Address is 00 20 A6 12 54 C3 and the Mask is FF FF FF 00 00 00 the AP will examine the source and destination addresses of each packet looking for any MAC address starting with 00 20 A6 If the Mask is FF FF FF FF FF FF the AP will only look for the specific MAC address in this case 00 20 A6 12 54 C3 Avaya Wireless AP 3 User s Guide 4 65 Filtering When creating a filter you can configure the Wired parameters only the Wireless parameters only or both sets of parameters Which parameters to configure depends upon the traffic that you want block To block all traffic Configure from a specific wired MAC address from being forwarded to the wireless network only the Wired MAC Address and Wired
