MAC filtering allows you to define up to twenty Media Access Control (MAC) address filters to
prevent computers from sending outgoing TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN via their MAC addresses.
This is useful because the MAC address of a specific NIC card never changes, unlike its IP
address, which can be assigned via the DHCP server or hard-coded to various addresses over
time.
To configure MAC filters:
1.
Click Advanced on the SBG6900-AC Main Menu bar.

Set Up Port Filtering
Port filtering allows you to define port filters to prevent all devices from sending outgoing
TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN on specific IP port numbers. By specifying a starting and ending port
range, you can determine what TCP/UDP traffic is allowed out to the WAN on a per-port basis.
Note
: The specified port ranges are blocked for ALL computers, and this setting is not IP address or
MAC address specific. For example, if you wanted to block all computers on your home network from
accessing HTTP sites (or web surfing), you would create the following port filter.
•
Set
Start Port
to
80
•
Set
End Port
to
80
•
Set
Protocol
to
TCP
•
Select
Enabled
To configure Port filters:
1.
Click Advanced on the SBG6900-AC Main Menu bar.
2.
Click Port Filtering from the Advanced submenu options.
3.
Enter the starting port number of the Port Filtering range in the Start Port field.
4.
Enter the ending port number of the Port Filtering range in the End Port field..
5.
Select TCP, UDP, or BOTH from the drop-down Protocol list.
6.
Select Enabled to activate the selected IP port filters. Otherwise, leave unchecked.

Set Up Port Triggers
You can use Port Triggers to configure dynamic triggers to specific devices on your home
network. This allows special applications that require specific port numbers with bi-directional
traffic to function properly. Applications such as video conferencing, voice, gaming, and some
messaging program features may require these special settings.
Note
: If you enable the firewall and set up custom port triggers, then you must set the firewall
protection level to
Low
or
Off
to allow traffic through the custom ports. See
Set Up Firewall Protection
for more information.
