The ability to allow or deny Access Point connectivity by client MAC address ensures malicious or
unwanted clients are unable to bypass the Access Point’s security filters. Firewall rules can be
created to support one of the three actions listed below that match the rule’s criteria:
• Allow a connection
• Allow a connection only if it’s secured through the MAC firewall security
• Block a connection
To view the Access Point’s MAC Firewall Rules:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select System from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). Expand a RF
Domain, select a controller or service platform, and select one of its connected Access Points.
3. Select Firewall and expand the menu to reveal its sub menu items.
