12.3.1 Configuring MAC Address Filter

Your G-1000 v2 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 G-1000 v2.
