hacking a network. A Wireless MAC Address Filter is created and distributed to AP so that only
authorized NIC's can connect to the network. While MAC address spoofing is a proven means to
hacking a network this can be used in conjunction with additional security measures to increase the
level of complexity of the network security decreasing the chance of a breach.
MAC addresses can be add/delete/edit from the Wireless MAC Address Filter list depending on the
MAC Access Policy.
