CHAPTER 19
MAC Filter
19.1 MAC Filter Overview
You can configure the Zyxel Device to permit access to clients based on their MAC addresses in the
MAC Filter screen. This applies to wired and wireless connections. Every Ethernet device has a unique
MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six
pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC addresses
of the LAN client to configure this screen
19.2 The MAC Filter Screen
Enable MAC Address Filter and add the host name and MAC address of a LAN client to the table if you
wish to allow or deny them access to your network. Click Security > MAC Filter. The screen appears as
shown.
