Mac Authentication - ZyXEL Communications VMG8924-B10A Series User Manual

7.4 MAC Authentication

This screen allows you to configure the VMG to give exclusive access to specific devices (Allow) or
exclude specific devices from accessing the VMG (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.
