MAC Filtering

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identier 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 congure the network to block specic machines from accessing

your LAN.

MAC Filtering Policy For Each Interface

MAC Filtering is only effective on ATM PVCs congured in Bridge mode. FORWARD means that

all MAC layer frames will be FORWARDED except those matching with any of the specied rules

in the following table. BLOCKED means that all MAC layer frames will be BLOCKED except those

matching with any of the specied rules in the following table.

Note: Changing from one policy to another of an interface will cause all dened rules for

that interface to be REMOVED AUTOMATICALLY! You will need to create new rules for the

new policy.
