How to ignore all MAC addresses except one address, when using Network boot for Simulink Real Time?

We are trying to setup a Simulink Real-Time setup for a Hardware in Loop Simulation. The Simulink Real-Time OS is loaded via Network boot. Once the Target PC is connected and loaded by giving the MAC address of the Target PC, the Network Boot Loader is getting pings from various other PCs connected to the same network. Everytime a PC is turned on, connected to the network, a pop-up comes up that a PC is trying to access the Boot loader, and we have to add the MAC address to always ignore list. Is there any option, such that, we can ignore all the incoming requests from all other MAC addresses except the one which we specify?

The typical usage of network boot is for a dedicated network; in other words, via a second Ethernet card on the development computer (host PC). On this second network, there can be more than one target computers as well as perhaps (a small number of) host computers.

There is no way to ignore all MAC addresses.
