MAC address filters allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast and multicast packets either sent from
or addressed to specific MAC addresses. You can create a filter that passes traffic to all MAC addresses

you specify. You can apply the filters you create to either or both the Ethernet and radio ports and to
either or both incoming and outgoing packets.
Note Using the CLI, you can configure MAC addresses for filtering, but because of a NVRAM limitation, you

configure only up to 43 MAC addresses for filtering.
