Create a list of MAC addresses for use in policies
Create lists of MAC addresses so that you can use them in multiple policies. A single list is easier to manage than several identical lists that are each created in a different policy.
To create a MAC list that is similar to an existing one, duplicate the list and then edit it.
MAC lists support MAC addresses in both hyphen- and colon-separated formats, for example 0A-0F-FF-F0-A0-AF and 0A:0F:FF:F0:A0:AF. You can insert comments into your MAC list by preceding the text with a pound sign ("#").
- Click Policies > Common Objects > Lists > MAC Lists.
- Click New > New MAC List.
- Type a name and, optionally, a description.
- In the MAC(s) list, add the MAC addresses, one per line.
- Click OK.
Import and export MAC lists
You can export one or more MAC lists to an XML or CSV file, and import lists from an XML file.
- Click Policies > Common Objects > Lists > MAC Lists.
- To export one or more lists, select them and click Export > Export Selected to CSV or Export > Export Selected to XML.
- To export all lists, click Export > Export to CSV or Export > Export to XML.
- To import lists, click New > Import From File and follow the instructions on the wizard.
See which policies use a MAC list
It is useful to see which policies use a MAC list to be aware of which policies are affected by any changes you make. For example, you can ensure no policies use a MAC list before deleting it.
- Click Policies > Common Objects > Lists > MAC Lists.
- Select the MAC list and click Properties.
- Click the Assigned To tab.
