Network Filters, the Secret to Successful AVoIP Network Configurations

There is a well known but little understood feature in managed network switches which allows the network to make interesting and complex decisions about what traffic to pass and to block.  When used appropriately, network filters can help an AV professional deploy complex networks with simpler hardware and more robust long-term operation. 

This session will demystify these seemingly complex ideas and help attendees understand how, when, and why to use network filters. The session will differentiate between egress and ingress filters while helping determine what the equipment supports. The learners will be able to use tools to configure multicast and unicast filters to permit or block traffic. When leaving this session the learner will feel confident with how to configure filters, when to use filters, and why filters can help simplify complex hardware configurations.
