Block a LAN-Connected Device by MAC Address

Block LAN-connected devices from using an edge node by selecting Block MAC Address in the Manage Devices drawer.

Context: You can block a LAN-connected device by MAC address to prevent it from using the edge node for connectivity. Use this task when auto-blocking is not enabled and you want to block a specific device. When auto-blocking is enabled, all connected LAN devices start as blocked, and no action is necessary to block them.

Procedure

1. Open the Manage Devices drawer in one of the following ways:
   • Select the Network tab, select a LAN interface, and then select Manage Devices.
   • Select the Devices tab, select LAN devices, and then select Manage Devices.
2. Select Add Device to block a MAC address for an onboarded device.
   A new row in the table is created for you to edit.
3. Choose the onboarded Device from the Device Name drop down.
   That device's MAC address appears in the MAC column.
4. Select the check box in the Block MAC Address column .
5. Select the check mark in the Actions column.
6. (Optional) Repeat steps 2 through 5 for additional devices.
7. Select Update to submit the changes for this edge node.

Unblocking is the reverse process, but starting by selecting the pencil icon on the Device to unblock.
