Maximum Limits of MAC address filtering for Wireless clients

[ckkpos93]

For MAC-based filtering, please ensure the below points 

• What is the maximum limit of MAC addresses that can be added?
• If we utilize the maximum limit of MAC address entry, is it to be cause any performance-related issues on the wireless controller (FGT) and FAP?
• Is there any option to import bulk MAC addresses from FMG at once or to add multiple MAC addresses one by one?

Hello @ckkpos93 

Have you checked the maximum values table of FortiGate that you are using?

https://docs.fortinet.com/max-value-table

I have randomly selected one firewall and a firmware version, and it shows system.wireless.mac-filter value to "0", which means that "Objects with no hard limit, such as objects limited by system memory."

system.wireless.mac-filter

0

You can check you firewall model and firmware version.

This technical document, would also be helpful.
