8.8 MAC Address Filters:
The MAC (Media Access Controller) Address filter option is used to control
network access based on the MAC Address of the network adapter. A MAC
address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter.
This feature can be configured to ALLOW or DENY network/Internet access.
