IP Filter / MAC Filter Conflict
If there is a conflict between an IP filter and a MAC filter – for example, where
a computer’s IP address is allowed by the IP filter but it’s MAC address is
excluded by the MAC filter – then that computer’s access is blocked.
In other word’s, if either filter blocks a computer, then the computer is blocked,
no matter what the other filter is set to.
