Wireless > MAC Filter List
Wireless networking provides native MAC filtering capabilities which prevents wireless clients from authenticating and associating with the wireless security appliance. If you enforce MAC filtering on the WLAN, wireless clients must provide you with the MAC address of their wireless networking card.
To set up your MAC Filter List, log into the SonicWALL, and click Wireless , then MAC Filter List .
Allow or Deny Specific Resources
The MAC Allow List contains groups of address objects for network resources that the security appliance allows to connect via the WLAN, regardless of the selections in the deny list.
The MAC Deny List contains groups of address objects for network resources that the security appliance denies to connect via the WLAN, regardless of the selections in the allow list.
The items in the list are address object groups, defined groups of objects that represent specific IP addresses or ranges of addresses that can be used throughout the management interface to specify network resources. An address object group can contain other address object groups.
The Allow List and Deny List are also address object groups.

Step 1 In the Allow List or Deny List box, select Create New MAC Address Object Group .
Step 2 In the Add Address Object Group field, enter a name for the new group
Step 3 In the left column, select the groups or individual address objects you want to allow or deny. You can use Ctrl-click select more than one item.
Step 4 Click the > button to add the items to the group.
Step 5 Click OK to create the group and add it to the Allow List or Deny List .
