Configuring a MAC Filter List Locally on the WAP device

The WAP device supports one local MAC filter list only; that is, the same list
applies to all VAPs that are enabled to use the local list. The filter can be
configured to grant access only to the MAC addresses on the list, or to deny
access only to addresses on the list.
Up to 512 MAC addresses can be added to the filter list.
To configure MAC filtering:
Select Wireless > MAC Filtering.
Choose how the WAP device uses the filter list:
• Allow only stations in list—Any station that is not in the Stations List is
denied access to the network through the WAP device.
• Block all stations in list—Only the stations that appear in the list are denied
access to the network through the WAP device. All other stations are
permitted access.
The filter setting also applies to the MAC filtering list stored on the
