MAC Address Filtering

MAC Address Filtering is a security feature that controls which devices can connect to a network based on their unique hardware address, called a MAC address. Think of it as a list of authorized devices; only those with MAC addresses on the list are allowed to access the network. This helps prevent unauthorized devices from connecting, adding an extra layer of security. However, since MAC addresses can be spoofed or changed, it shouldn't be solely relied upon for protection but can be part of a broader security strategy.
