3.7.4 Filtering
The MAC address filter can be used to filter network access by machines
based on the unique MAC addresses of their network adapter(s). It is
most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting
to user’s network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the
manufacturer of the network adapter.
