39.1.1 MAC Address Filter Setup

Your ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL.
1 From the main menu, enter 7 to open Menu 7 - WLAN Setup.
2 Enter 1 to display Menu 7.1 - Wireless Setup.
3 In the Edit MAC Address Filter field, press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press
[ENTER]. Menu 7.1.1 - WLAN MAC Address Filter displays as shown next.
