provide the capability for checking MAC address of the station before allowing it to connect to the network.
This provides an additional layer of control layer in that only stations with registered MAC addresses can
connect. This approach requires that the list of MAC addresses be configured.

ZyXEL's MAC Filter Implementation allows users to define a list to allow or block association from STAs. The
