Configuring Filters Settings
To restrict client computers, you can set up filters that allow or deny access to the
NetBoot service depending on the computer’s MAC address.
You can enter a MAC address as canonical or noncanonical in the filter list. The
canonical form of a MAC address contains leading zeros and lowercase hex digits
separated by a “. ”. For Example, 01:a1:0c:32:00:b0 is the canonical form of a MAC
address and 1:a1:c:32:0:b0 is the noncanonical form of the same MAC address.
