Advanced MAC Filtering Page
Define up to 20 Media Access Control (MAC) address filters to prevent PCs from
sending outgoing TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN via their MAC addresses. The MAC
address of a specific NIC card never changes, unlike its IP address which can be
assigned via the DHCP server or hard-coded to various addresses over time.
