MAC address filtering, also known as hardware or physical address filtering, is a security access control method whereby the 48–bit address assigned to each network card is used to determine access to the network. It works by allowing network administrators to selectively block access to devices by using their MAC addresses. Essentially, it allows an administrator to create a list of approved MAC addresses and any device not on this list will be denied access.
