MAC Filter Configuration
Use the MAC Filter Configuration page to create MAC filters that limit the traffic allowed into
and out of specified ports on the system.
To display the MAC Filter Configuration page, click Security Traffic Control, and then click
the MAC Filter MAC Filter Configuration link.
To configure MAC filter settings:
1. To configure a new MAC filter:
a. Select Create Filter from the MAC Filter menu. If no filters have been configured, this
is the only option available.
b. From the VLAN ID menu, select the VLAN to use with the MAC address to fully
identify packets you want filtered. You can change this field only when the Create
Filter option is selected from the MAC Filter menu.
c. In the MAC Address field, specify the MAC address of the filter in the format
00:01:1A:B2:53:4D. You can change this field when you have selected the Create
Filter option.
You cannot define filters for the following MAC addresses:
• 00:00:00:00:00:00
• 01:80:C2:00:00:00 to 01:80:C2:00:00:0F
• 01:80:C2:00:00:20 to 01:80:C2:00:00:21
• FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
d. Click the orange bar under the Source Port Members heading to display the
available ports. Select the port(s) to include in the inbound filter. If a packet with the
MAC address and VLAN ID you specify is received on a port that is not in the list, it
will be dropped.
