Enabling Source MAC Filtering
Source MAC Filter allows you to filter out traffic coming from certain known machines or
devices.
By default, the source MAC address filter is disabled. All the traffic received from PCs with
any MAC address is allowed.
When enabled, traffic will be dropped coming from any computers or devices whose MAC
addresses are listed in Available MAC Addresses to be Blocked table.
To enable MAC filtering and add MAC addresses to be blocked:
1. Select Security from the main menu and Source MAC Filter from the sub-menu. The Source
MAC Filter screen will display.
2. Check the Yes radio box in the MAC Filtering Enable section.
