MAC Filtering Setup

In some cases, you may want to manage Layer2 MAC address to block or permit a

computer within the home network. When you enable MAC filter rules, the DSL router

serves as a firewall that works at layer 2.

Note:

MAC filtering is only effective on ATM PVCs configured in bridge mode. If the ATM

PVCs are configured in other routing modes (such as PPPoE mode), the MAC

Filtering Setup page does not appear.

Choose Security > MAC Filtering and the following page appears.

Figure 20 MAC filtering setup

In this page, you can add or remove the MAC filtering rule. You may change the MAC

filtering policy from FORWARDED to BLOCKED by clicking the Change Policy

button.

Click the Add button to display the following page.
