it to connect. However, host2 is able to connect because its MAC address is not in
the list. If the policy is "permit and block the rest," then host1 is able to connect to a
website, but host2 is blocked because its URL is not in the list. The MAC filtering
policy does not override a firewall rule that directs incoming traffic to a host.
Click Save.
In the MAC Addresses table, click Add.
Enter the MAC address to add to the table and click Save. Repeat for each address
to permit or block.

Configuring IP/MAC Address Binding

IP/MAC Binding allows you to bind IP addresses to MAC address. Some machines
are configured with static addresses. To prevent users from changing static IP
addresses, IP/MAC Binding should be enabled. If the Cisco RV 120W sees
packets with matching IP address but inconsistent MAC addresses, it drops those
packets.
To configure IP/MAC Address binding:
Choose Firewall > Access Control > IP/MAC Binding. The table lists all the
currently defined IP/MAC binding rules and allows several operations on the rules.
Click Add to add a new rule.
In the name field, enter the name for this rule.
In the MAC Addresses field, enter the MAC Addresses (the physical address of
the piece of hardware) for this rule.
In the IP Addresses field, enter the IP Addresses to assign to the piece of
hardware.
In the Log Dropped Packets field, choose if you want to log the dropped packets.
Choosing enable logs the dropped packets. Logs can be viewed in Status > View
All Logs page.
