Creating a MAC Address Filter
Follow these steps to create a MAC address filter:
Step 1 Follow the link path to the MAC Address Filters page.
Step 2 If you are creating a new MAC address filter, make sure <NEW> (the default) is selected in the
Create/Edit Filter Index menu. To edit a filter, select the filter number from the Create/Edit Filter Index
menu.
Step 3 In the Filter Index field, name the filter with a number from 700 to 799. The number you assign creates
an access control list (ACL) for the filter.
Step 4 Enter a MAC address in the Add MAC Address field. Enter the address with periods separating the three
groups of four characters (0040.9612.3456, for example).
Step 5 Use the Mask entry field to indicate how many bits, from left to right, the filter checks against the MAC
address. For example, to require an exact match with the MAC address (to check all bits) enter
FFFF.FFFF.FFFF. To check only the first 4 bytes, enter FFFF.FFFF.0000.
Step 6 Select Forward or Block from the Action menu.
Step 7 Click Add. The MAC address appears in the Filters Classes field. To remove the MAC address from the
Filters Classes list, select it and click Delete Class.
Step 8 Repeat Step 4 through Step 7 to add addresses to the filter.
Step 9 Select Forward All or Block All from the Default Action menu. The filter’s default action must be the
opposite of the action for at least one of the addresses in the filter. For example, if you enter several
addresses and you select Block as the action for all of them, you must choose Forward All as the filter’s
default action.
Step 10 Click Apply. The filter is saved on the WMIC, but it is not enabled until you apply it on the Apply Filters
page.
Step 11 Click the Apply Filters tab to return to the Apply Filters page. Figure 12-2 shows the Apply Filters page.
