Destination MAC Filter
Security > Destination MAC Filter
This section contains an explanation of the Destination MAC Filter feature as well a
procedure for configuring it. This section includes the following information:
The Destination MAC Filter feature prevents the switch from forwarding packets to a
specified device. On the Destination MAC Filter Page of the Web Management Utility
software, enter the MAC address of the device that you want to filter.
After the switch receives a packet, it examines the destination MAC address of the
packet. If the destination MAC address matches a MAC address set in the filter, the
software prevents the switch from forwarding it and drops the packet.
You may want to block access to a device within your organization. For instance, you
may not want users on the Sales group switch to have access to a server on the
Accounting group switch. You can enter the MAC address of the Accounting server as a
destination MAC address filter on the Sales group switch. When a packet destined for
the Accounting server is received by the Sales group switch, the switch drops the packet.
The Destination MAC Filter is a subset of the static MAC address.
1. Log into your switch management page (see
on page 7).
2. Click on Security and click on Destination MAC Filter.
3. Enter the MAC Address to add to the destination filter table. Click Add.
