MAC Filter List

Wireless networking provides native MAC filtering capabilities that prevent wireless clients from authenticating and associating with the wireless security appliance. If you enforce MAC filtering on the WLAN, wireless clients must provide you with the MAC address of their wireless networking card. The SonicOS wireless MAC Filter List allows you to configure a list of clients that are allowed or denied access to your wireless network. Without MAC filtering, any wireless client can join your wireless network if they know the SSID and other security parameters, thus allowing them to “break into” your wireless network.
