Configuring a
MAC Address Filter
Use the Security > Network Access (Configure MAC Filter) page to designate
specific MAC addresses or MAC address ranges as exempt from authentication.
MAC addresses present in MAC Filter tables activated on a port are treated as pre-
authenticated on that port.
Command Usage

Specified MAC addresses are exempt from authentication.
◆ Up to 65 filter tables can be defined.
◆ There is no limitation on the number of entries used in a filter table.
Parameters
