Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management

Static MAC Pair Filtering

The Static MAC Address Filter optimizes the performance of a wireless (and wired) network. Click the Configure button, the Filtering tab, and the Static MAC Pair Filtering sub-tab to access the Static MAC Address Filter.

The filter is an advanced feature that lets you limit the data traffic between two specific devices (or between groups of devices based upon MAC addresses) through the wireless interface of the MP.11/a. For example, if you have a server on your network with which you do not want wireless clients to communicate, you can set up a Static MAC Filter to block traffic between these devices. However, note that this is an advanced filter and it may be easier to control wireless traffic through other filter options, such as Protocol Filtering.

Wired MAC Address

Enter the MAC address of the device on the Ethernet network that you want to prevent from communicating with a device on the wireless network.

Wired Mask

Enter the appropriate bit mask to specify the range of MAC addresses to which this filter is to apply. To specify only the single MAC address you entered in the Wired MAC Address filter, enter FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (all zeroes).

Wireless MAC Address

Enter the MAC address of the wireless device that you want to prevent from communicating with a device on the wired network.

Wireless Mask

Enter the appropriate bit mask to specify the range of MAC addresses to which this filter is to apply. To specify only the single MAC address you entered in the Wireless MAC Address file, enter FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (all zeroes).
