10.9 MAC Filter

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the ZyWALL to give exclusive access to
specific devices (Allow) or exclude specific devices from accessing the ZyWALL (Deny).
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address
is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC addresses of the devices to configure this
screen.
To change your ZyWALL’s MAC filter settings, click the NETWORK > WIRELESS
CARD
> MAC Filter. The screen appears as shown.

To activate MAC filtering on a profile, select Enable from the Enable MAC
Filtering
drop-down list box in the WIRELESS CARD > Edit screen and click
Apply.

Group Key

Update Timer

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key

out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically

changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis.

Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA(2)-PSK mode.
