Enable Source Mac Filtering - NETGEAR ProSafe FVS318N Reference Manual

Enable Source MAC Filtering

The Source MAC Filter screen enables you to permit or block traffic coming from certain
known computers or devices.
By default, the source MAC address filter is disabled. All the traffic received from computers
with any MAC address is allowed. When the source MAC address filter is enabled,
depending on the selected policy, traffic is either permitted or blocked if it comes from any
computers or devices whose MAC addresses are listed in MAC Addresses table.
Note: For additional ways of restricting outbound traffic, see
Rules (Service Blocking)
