8.4 Configuring MAC Firewall Rules
Security Configuration
Access points can use MAC based firewalls like Access Control Lists (ACLs) to filter/mark packets based on the IP from which
they arrive, as opposed to filtering packets on Layer 2 ports.
Optionally filter Layer 2 traffic on a physical Layer 2 interface using MAC addresses. A MAC firewall rule uses source and
destination MAC addresses for matching operations, where the result is a typical allow, deny or mark designation to packet
traffic.
NOTE: Once defined, a set of MAC firewall rules must be applied to an interface to be a
functional filtering tool.
