regardless of whether the strict option is enabled or not (the second address is
not checked).
With dhcp option enabled, macf filter is automatically supplemented with
addresses issued by local DHCP server. These records are not stored in a
permanent configuration and work until the given address is deleted by DHCP
server.
Hereafter, some possible scenarios of using different filtering options:
1 Flat model. All workstations of the client's local network are directly
connected to the Ethernet interface of the device. In this case the simplest
filtering may be used, possibly with the strict option enabled:
macf MAC-address IP-address [strict]
2 If an intermediate device is installed between a client unit and the client's LAN,
then reverse strict or reverse simple modes may be used, with
IP-addresses of all authorized workstations being directly listed in the
mapping table, while the MAC-address is always that of the intermediate
device.
3 If several LANs are connected to the same device, each through an
intermediate device, then the simple or reverse strict modes may become the
most useful, with MAC-addresses of all those intermediate devices being listed
in the mapping table.
