Restricting access by residential subscribers to a small list of upstream MAC addresses

The first step is to create a list of MAC addresses to be protected. The second step is to restrict access to these addresses only from an SHG or a SAP (if the MAC address of an upstream server is not known, it can be discovered using, for example, the CPE ping OAM tool).

The following example displays a partial BSA configuration with restricted access to some MAC addresses from a specified SAP (an unrestricted access from any other SAP within the VPLS).
