NetBoot Filter Manager 1.0 is network software developed by Mike Bombich.
While the Server Admin application allows you to enable NetBoot filtering and manipulate the list of allowed or denied MAC addresses, it does not offer a way to import, en masse, a list of MAC addresses. It also does not indicate how many machines are in the list, which could be nice if you're trying to track license usage.

For those managing small lists of machines, this is probably no big deal. But for people that manage very large lists of machines (50+), a tool that allows better list manipulation is a must. That's where NetBoot Filter Manager (NFM) comes in.

NFM allows you to import a list of return-delimited MAC addresses into your NetInfo database for use with NetBoot filtering. NFM also allows you to set a limit on the number of MAC addresses that can be added to the database by NFM. This could be handy if, say, you had just purchased 1500 units of the OS through Apple's Apple Maintenance Program. By limiting what machines can boot to your NetBoot server, you can "stay honest" about how many machines are permitted to install the OS.
This network software is freeware, which means you can download and use NetBoot Filter Manager 1.0 absolutely free. There's no need to buy the product. NetBoot Filter Manager 1.0 supports different languages (including english). It works with Mac OS X.

Downloading NetBoot Filter Manager 1.0 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
