Mac Filtering; Access Control - TP-Link TL-R470T Plus Configuration Manual

Configuring Firewall Firewall
The router provides two types of Attack Defense: Flood Defense and Packet Anomaly Defense.
Flood Defense limits the receiving rate of the specific types of packets, and Packet Anomaly
Defense discards the illegal packets directly.

MAC Filtering

MAC Filtering can flexibly control the access to the network of the specific hosts. You can
simply add the MAC addresses of the hosts to the MAC Filtering List and specify the filtering
rule for these hosts. Two rules are provided: allow the packets with the MAC addresses in the
MAC Filtering List and deny other packets, or deny the packets with the MAC addresses in the
MAC Filtering List and allow other packets.

Access Control

Access Control can filter the packets passing through the router based on the Access Control
rules. An Access Control rule includes a filter policy and some conditions, such as service
type, receiving interface and effective time. The router will apply the filter policy to the packets
matching these conditions, and thus to limit network traffic, manage network access behaviors
and more.
Access Control can prevent various network attacks, such as attacks on TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol) and ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets, and can also manage
network access behaviors, such as controlling access to the internet.
