Schedule time:

Attention

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning

IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do

not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address. The easiest

and safest way is that the filtered IP address is assigned to a specific PC

that is not allowed to access an outside resource such as the Internet. You

configure the filtered IP address manually for this PC, but it stays in the

same subnet with the router.

4.3.4.2 Ethernet MAC Filter

A Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier

for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card).

Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the switch to only accept

traffic from specified machines, or else to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.

There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your

requirements.

instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment or the entire network. If this happens, users are

not able to access network resources.
