Bridging

You can set the port Þltering action for the bridging port on each port of the 
device, as well any BRIM ports.

When you clear the port Þltering action of a Þlter, all ports that were conÞgured to 
forwarding or blocking will be reset to no action. Note that when you clear port 
Þltering for a Þlter, the Þltering or blocking action will be simultaneously cleared 
at all of its receive ports.

In order to clear the port Þltering action, use the following steps.

1.

Click to select the filter whose port filtering action you would like to disable.

2.

Click on Clear Port Filtering. This will clear the port filtering action for the 
selected filter at all of its receive ports. The port filtering symbols will appear in 
cleared mode. 

To determine if a Þlter is enabled, check the Enable option button.

To enable a Þlter:

1.

Click on the empty Enable button. When the button is filled (

), the filter is 

enabled.

To disable a Þlter:

1.

Click on the filled Enable button. When the button is empty (

), the filter is 

disabled.

When you have deÞned a set of Þlters, you can save that set to a Þle. This allows 
you to conveniently recall a series of Þlters when the need arises.

To save a set of Þlters:

1.

Make sure that all filters that you want contained in the set have the File 
checkbox checked.

2.

Click on Filters. A menu will appear.

3.

Click on Save As. A standard Microsoft Windows Save File window will 
appear.

4.

In the File name field, specify the file name and file path in which you want to 
save the filter series.

5.

Click on OK. The file will be saved as indicated.
