MAC Address Filters Page

Use this page to allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast or multicast packets
sent from or addressed to specific MAC addresses. You can create a filter that
passes traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify, or you can create a
filter that blocks traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify. You can
apply the filters you create to either or both the Ethernet and radio ports and to
either or both incoming or outgoing packets.

Description
If you are creating a new MAC address filter, make sure to select <NEW> (the
default).
Name the filter with a number from 700...799. The number you assign creates
an access control list (ACL) for the filter.
Type a destination MAC address with the periods separating the three groups of
four characters, for example, 0040.9612.3456.
To make sure the filter operates properly, use lower case for all the letters in the
MAC addresses that you enter.
If you plan to block traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify as
allowed, put your MAC address in the list of allowed MAC addresses.
Type the mask for the MAC address. Enter the mask with periods separating the
four groups of three characters, for example, 112.334.556.778. The method for
entering the mask depends on the release.
Entering 255.255.255.255 as the mask causes the access point to accept any IP
address. If you enter 0.0.0.0, the access point looks for an exact match with the IP
address you entered in the IP Address field. The mask you enter in this field
behaves the same way that a mask behaves when you enter it in the CLI.
