Each network device has a unique MAC address. You can block or forward the
packets based on the MAC addresses. The MAC Filtering Setup screen allows for
the setup of the MAC filtering policy and rules.
NOTE: This function is only available when in bridge mode. Instead of MAC
filtering, the other connection types use IP Filtering (pg. 61).
The policy
FORWARDED means that all MAC layer frames will be FORWARDED
except those matching with any of the specified rules in the following table.
BLOCKED means that all MAC layer frames will be BLOCKED except those
matching with any of the specified rules in the following table. The default is
FORWARDED ; this is changed by clicking the Change Policy button.
Choose
Add or Remove to configure MAC filtering rules. The following screen
pops up when you click Add . Create a filter to identify the MAC layer frames by
specifying at least one condition below. If multiple conditions are specified, all of
them take effect. Click
Save/Apply to save and activate the filter.
