FVS338 ProSafe VPN Firewall 50 Reference Manual • MAC-level Control over PCs. The Network Database uses the MAC address to identify each PC or device. So changing a PC's IP address does not affect any restrictions on that PC. • Group and Individual Control over PCs - You can assign PCs to Groups and apply restrictions to each Group using the Firewall Rules screen (see "Services-Based Rules" on page 4-2). - You can also select the Groups to be covered by the Block Sites feature (see "Setting Block Sites (Content Filtering)" on page 4-22). - If necessary, you can also create Firewall Rules to apply to a single PC (see "Enabling Source MAC Filtering" on page 4-24). Because the MAC address is used to identify each PC, users cannot avoid these restrictions by changing their IP address. • A computer is identified by its MAC address-not its IP address. Hence, changing a computer's IP address does not affect any restrictions applied to that PC. The LAN Groups screen contains a list of all known PCs and network devices, as well as hosts that are assigned dynamic IP addresses by this router. LAN Configuration 3-7 v1.0, March 2008
