ZyAIR Access Point Series User’s Guide

13.3.1 Configuring MAC Address Filter

Your ZyAIR checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so MAC-based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication.

Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your ZyAIR. Step 1. From the main menu, enter 3 to open Menu 3 – LAN Setup. Step 2. Enter 5 to display Menu 3.5 – Wireless LAN Setup.
