Click
OK
. You return automatically to the Setup page.
If clients are not filtered immediately, click
WARM RESTART SYSTEM NOW
on the Manage System Configuration page to restart the access point. To reach the
Manage System Configuration page, Click
Cisco Services
on the main Setup page
and click
Manage System Configuration
on the Cisco Services Setup page.
Note
The Ethernet Advanced page contains the Default Unicast and Multicast Address
Filter settings for the Ethernet port. These settings work as described above, but
you should use extra caution changing the settings on the Ethernet Advanced page
because they can lock you out of your access point. To reach the Ethernet
Advanced page, click
Advanced
in the Ethernet row of the Network Ports section
at the bottom of the Setup page.
Note
Client devices with blocked MAC addresses cannot send or receive data through
the access point, but they might remain in the Association Table as
unauthenticated client devices. Client devices with blocked MAC addresses
disappear from the Association Table when the access point stops monitoring
them or they associate with another access point. See the
“Association Table
Advanced Page” section on page 3-68
for information on setting a monitoring
timeout for each device class.
