Creating MAC Filters

Use the MAC Filtering Configuration page to associate a MAC address with a VLAN and set of source ports and 

destination ports. Any packet with a static MAC address in a specific VLAN is admitted only if the ingress port 

is included in the set of source ports; otherwise the packet is dropped. If admitted, the packet is forwarded to 

all the ports in the destination list.

To access the MAC Filter Configuration page, click 

LAN > L2 Features > Filters > MAC Filter Configuration 

in 

the navigation tree.

Description

MAC Filter

If no MAC filters are configured on the system, 

Create Filter

 is the only item in 

the drop-down menu. If one or more MAC filters exist, the list also contains 

the MAC address and associated VLAN ID of a configured filter.

MAC Address

The MAC address of the filter in the format 00:01:1A:B2:53:4D. You can only 

change this field when you have selected the "Create Filter" option.

Note: 

You cannot define filters for the following MAC addresses:

• 00:00:00:00:00:00

• 01:80:C2:00:00:00 to 01:80:C2:00:00:0F

• 01:80:C2:00:00:20 to 01:80:C2:00:00:21

• FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF 

VLAN ID

The VLAN ID used with the MAC address to fully identify packets you want 

filtered. You can only change this field when you have selected the "Create 

Filter" option.

Source Port Members

Select the ports you want included in the inbound filter. If a packet with the 

MAC address and VLAN ID you selected is received on a port that is not in the 

list, it will be dropped.

Destination Port Members

Select the ports you want to include in the outbound filter. Packets with the 

MAC address and VLAN ID you selected will only be transmitted out of ports 

that are in the list.
