Hidden MAC Filter Rules

The MAC filter table contains three hidden rules. These rules are built into the Router to ensure the user does not become locked out by entering a rule which prevents further access to the router.

The first rule allows any and all ARP frames through the system.

The second rule allows all IPv4 frames with the destination MAC address of the bridge to go through.

The third rule allows all IPv4 frames with the source MAC address of the bridge to go through.

TIP: To find the MAC address of a Windows-based computer, at the DOS prompt type: ipconfig /all.
