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.

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).
