MAC FIltering Question

Hi Thomas,

There is a quick KBA on this, check https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/119167 .

Note – The MAC address range 00:1a:8c:f0.xx.xx is used by HA/Cluster. You cannot use this range for other purpose as MAC addresses within this range will be overwritten by the system.

Thanks

Isn't the definition of whitelist, that only the Adresses on it are allowed and all others automaticly blocked, whereas blacklist means everything allowed besides the adresses on the list?

Sorry but I really dont get what the question here is.

In general in WebAdmin, "Whitelist" means "Regardless of other settings, these specific items are allowed."  "Blacklist" means "Regardless of other settings, these items are NOT allowed."

The only place where you can declare Blacklist/Whitelist in the way you defined it, David, is on the 'Categories' tab in a Web Filtering Filter Action.
