Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)
Configuring a MAC Address Filter
Use the Security > Network Access (Configure MAC Filter) page to designate specific MAC
addresses or MAC address ranges as exempt from authentication. MAC addresses present in MAC
Filter tables activated on a port are treated as pre-authenticated on that port.
CLI References
• “Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)” on page 193
Command Usage
• Specified MAC addresses are exempt from authentication.
• Up to 65 filter tables can be defined.
• There is no limitation on the number of entries used in a filter table.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• Filter ID – Adds a filter rule for the specified filter.
• MAC Address – The filter rule will check ingress packets against the entered MAC address or
range of MAC addresses (as defined by the MAC Address Mask).
• MAC Address Mask – The filter rule will check for the range of MAC addresses defined by the
MAC bit mask. If you omit the mask, the system will assign the default mask of an exact match.
