Enable Source MAC Filtering
The Source MAC Filter screen enables you to permit or block traffic coming from certain
known PCs or devices.
By default, the source MAC address filter is disabled. All the traffic received from PCs with
any MAC address is allowed. When the source MAC address filter is enabled, depending on
the selected policy, traffic is either permitted or blocked if it comes from any PCs or devices
whose MAC addresses are listed in MAC Addresses table.
Note: For additional ways of restricting outbound traffic, see Outbound
Rules (Service Blocking) on page 109.
To enable MAC filtering and add MAC addresses to be permitted or blocked:
1. Select Se
curity > Address Filter. The Address Filter submenu tabs display, with the
Source MAC Filter screen in view. (The following figure shows one address in the MAC
Addresses table as an example.)
Figure 77.
2. In the MAC Filtering Enable section, select the Yes radio button.
