Re: Whitelist MAC-Addresses on GS724T

Hello,
how should I configure the GS724Tv4 Switch, to just allow certain devices the communication?
I need this for a school project, my idea was to just allow certain Mac-Addresses, so devices that just connect to the switch arent able to communicate with other devices connected to the switch.
Is there a option to whitelist certain MAC-Addresses? I tried a few methods I found while researching but they didnt work out as expected.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @ProjectEdu,
Yes, you're right. You could whitelist certain MAC addresses on a particular port and limit it to a certain number depending on your preference but it'll take a while to configure it.
An easier way is to use MAC ACL (not sure if you tried this as well) which is used to permit or deny access to the network, please check this guide on how to configure it.
As for the devices that should not communicate with each other even though they're connected to the same switch, you'll need to configure a VLAN (you may refer here in this KB article).

Re: Whitelist MAC-Addresses on GS724T
Hi, thank for the response!
But how should I configure that, as far as I understood Port Security is for limiting MACs learned by the Ports.
