Advanced MAC Filtering Page
This page allows you to define Media Access Control (MAC) address filters to
prevent PCs from sending outgoing TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN via their MAC
addresses. This is useful because the MAC address of a specific NIC card never
changes, unlike its IP address, which can be assigned via the DHCP server or hard-
coded to various addresses over time.
Field Description
MAC xx Media Access Control address — a unique set of 12 hexadecimal digits
assigned to a PC during manufacturing
Setting a MAC Address Filter
1. Enter the MAC address in the MAC xx field for each PC you want to block.
2. When done, click Apply.
