12.3.1 Configuring MAC Address Filter
Your ZyAIR checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of allowed or denied
MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so MAC-based authentication is
less secure than EAP authentication.
Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your ZyAIR.
Step 1. From the main menu, enter 3 to open Menu 3 – LAN Setup.
Step 2. Enter 5 to display Menu 3.5 – Wireless LAN Setup.
