Configure Static MAC Pair Filtering
The Static MAC Address filter optimizes the performance of a wireless (and wired) network. When this feature is
configured properly, the unit can block traffic between wired devices on the wired (Ethernet) interface and devices on the
wireless interface based upon MAC address.
NOTE: The device on the wireless interface can be any device connected through the link, it can be directly connected to
the Ethernet interface of the peer unit, or it can be attached through multiple hops. The only thing important is the
MAC address in the packets arriving at the wireless interface.
The filter is an advanced feature that lets you limit the data traffic between two specific devices (or between groups of
devices based upon MAC addresses and masks through the wireless interface of the 5012-SUR. For example, if you
have a server on your network with which you do not want wireless clients to communicate, you can set up a static MAC
filter to block traffic between these devices. The Static MAC Filter Table performs bi-directional filtering. However, note
that this is an advanced filter and it may be easier to control wireless traffic through other filter options, such as Protocol
Filtering.
