Configuring Filters

Chapter 17

To edit a filter, select the filter number from the Create/Edit Filter Index menu.

4. In the Filter Index field, name the filter with a number from 700…799.

The number you assign creates an access control list (ACL) for the filter.

5. Enter a MAC address in the Add MAC Address field.

Enter the address with periods separating the three groups of four
characters, for example, 0040.9612.3456.

6. Use the Mask entry field to indicate how many bits, from left to right, the

filter checks against the MAC address.

For example, to require an exact match with the MAC address (to check all
bits) enter FFFF.FFFF.FFFF. To check only the first 4 bytes, enter
FFFF.FFFF.0000.

TIP

If you plan to block traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify as
allowed, put your own MAC address in the list of allowed MAC addresses.
