    Does adding MACs to the whitelist blacklist all others?

    Scheduled Pinned Locked Moved DHCP and DNS

      I have an interface with some blacklisted MAC addresses

      Vendor A is blacklisted
      Vendor B is blacklisted

      I then have a second DHCP pool, on that
      Vendor B is whitelisted

      Do I need to put Vendor A on the blacklist for that second pool as well or does using the whitelist automatically block them?
      If not, what would I have to do on that second pool to make it only assign based on what's in the whitelist?

        If you specify an allow MAC, all others are denied.

        If you specify a deny MAC, all others are allowed.

          Excellent, thanks.  That's exactly what I was hoping was the case.
