4.3.4.2 Ethernet MAC Filter

A Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier
for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card).
Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the switch to only accept
traffic from specified machines, or else to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.

There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your
requirements.

Active:

Select Yes from the drop down list box to enable MAC address filtering.

Action When Matched: Select “Drop” or “Forward”.

Log: Choose “Yes” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to a packet.

MAC Address: Enter the MAC addresses you wish to manage.

Candidates: it automatically detects devices connected to the router through the

Ethernet.
