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.
Tip
Tip
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 ("#").

  1. Click Policies → Common Objects → Lists → MAC Lists.
  2. Click New → New MAC List.
  3. Type a name and, optionally, a description.
  4. In the MAC(s) list, add the MAC addresses, one per line.
