Advanced MAC Filtering Page
This page allows you to define Media Access Control (MAC) address filters to prevent PCs from sending outgoing TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN via their MAC addresses. This is useful because the MAC address of a specific NIC card never changes, unlike its IP address, which can be assigned via the DHCP server or hard- coded to various addresses over time.
