Using MAC Address ACLs to Block or Allow Client Association to the Access Point
You can use MAC address ACLs to block or allow association to the access point.
Instead of filtering traffic across an interface, you use the ACL to filter
associations to the access point radio.
Follow these steps to use an ACL to filter associations to the access point radio:
1.
Follow Steps 1 through 10 in the Creating a Time-base ACL on page 478
to create an ACL.
IMPORTANT
Client devices with blocked MAC addresses cannot send or receive data through
the access point, but they can remain in the Association Table as
unauthenticated client devices. Client devices with blocked MAC addresses
disappear from the Association Table when the access point stops monitoring
them, when the access point restarts, or when the clients associate to another
access point.
