Static MAC Pair Filtering
The Static MAC Address Filter optimizes the performance of a wireless (and wired) network. 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) through the wireless interface of the MP.11.
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. 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.
Click Configure Î Filtering Î Static MAC Pair Filtering to optimize the performance of wireless
and wired networks by denying unwanted data traffic from specific devices.
Wired MAC Address
