Use Custom Filter with Netopia R7220-T Router

A Netopia R7220-T router has built-in firewall capabilities. It comes with two filter sets preconfigured, "Basic Firewall" and "NetBIOS", but you can create your own custom filters. To use a custom filter you have created, take the following steps.
  1. From the main menu, select Quick Menus and hit Enter.

Colasoft MAC Scanner 1.1

If you need to determine the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses on a LAN using a Windows system, Colasoft provides a tool, MAC Scanner, which you can use to scan all IP addresses in a subnet to obtain a list of the MAC, aka hardware addresses, associated with those IP addresses. The results can be exported to a text or Comma Separated Value (CSV) file.

Dell PowerConnect 3024 - Finding MAC Addresses

To determine the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses of devices connected to a Dell PowerConnect 3024 switch, take the following steps:
  1. Select Address Manager from the main menu.

                                   PowerConnect 3024
                                       Main Menu
    
    
    
    
                                 a. System Manager
                                 b. Port Manager
                                 c. Address Manager
                                 d. Spanning Tree
                                 e. VLAN and CoS Setup
                                 f. Port Trunking
                                 g. Port Mirroring
                                 h. SNMP Management
                                 i. Multimedia Support
                                 j. Statistics
                                 k. Save Configuration
    
    
    
    
    
    Hit  to configure Static Address Table or Address Aging Time
                                                    <Ctrl-L> Refresh  <Ctrl-W> Save

  2. Select Dynamic Addresses from the Address Manager menu.

                                   PowerConnect 3024
                                    Address Manager
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
                       a. Static Addresses
                       b. Dynamic Addresses
                       c. Address Aging
                       d. Static Multicast Groups Administration
                       e. Static Multicast Groups Membership
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Hit <Enter> to view Dynamic Addresses
    <ESC> Back                                      <Ctrl-L> Refresh  <Ctrl-W> Save

You will then see the MAC addresses that have been seen by the switch for each port. Ports with no device attached will not be listed. If nothing is listed for a port at the time you check, though, that does not necessarily mean that no device is attached to that port, only that no activity has been seen on that port recently. A system could be attached to the port, but turned off, or may be on, but has not communicated with another device over the network recently.

If the switch is seeing multiple MAC addresses on a port, as it would if there is another switch or hub plugged into the port, which itself has multiple systems plugged into it, it will show all of the MAC addresses. In the example below, 5 addreses are listed for port 6 and 4 addresses are listed for port 16. There is another switch connected to port 6 and a hub connected to port 16.

                               PowerConnect 3024
                       Address Manager/Dynamic Addresses

             Dynamic Address Learning is: Enabled

    1:6     1     00:13:72:3b:4a:b6
    1:6     1     00:16:76:96:cb:1e
    1:6     1     00:17:a4:26:88:d5
    1:7     1     00:11:11:5e:b5:90
    1:8     1     00:11:11:a8:9c:b0
    1:15    1     00:30:18:aa:70:a5
    1:16    1     00:00:74:ad:e8:c6
    1:16    1     00:00:c5:7c:08:7c
    1:16    1     00:06:25:b5:b4:62

Hit <Space> to Enable or Disable Dynamic Address Learning
<ESC> Back                                      <Ctrl-L> Refresh  <Ctrl-W> Save

If you see a MAC address which you don't recognize, you can lookup up the manufacturer of the network adapter associated with that address at Vendor/Ethernet MAC Address Lookup and Search, which may help you identify what type of device is connected on the port showing that MAC address. For instance, when I look up 00:09:6b:19:38:a5, I see the vendor listed as "IBM Corporation". When I look up 00:17:a4:26:88:d5, I see "Global Data Services (may now be Hewlett-Packard, HP)" listed and, in this case, the device is an HP K5400 printer.
