D-Link Unified Access System User Manual

To delete the ad hoc client entries from the list, click 

Delete All

. The status list is cleared on 

the switch. 

NOTE:

Clearing the list does not disassociate any of the ad hoc clients, and the clients 
might still be involved in the ad hoc network. 

If you want to block an ad hoc client from WLAN access, select the check box next to the 
MAC address of the client and click 

Deny MAC

. The MAC address is added to the MAC 

Deny List in the AP Profile MAC Authentication settings. If you select the check box and 
click Allow MAC, the MAC address is added to the Allow MAC List in the AP Profile MAC 
Authentication settings.

NOTE:

The MAC address is added to the local MAC authentication list for all pro-
files where the global default action is set to allow (for Allow MAC), or deny 
(for Deny MAC). If you use RADIUS for MAC authentication in one or more 
AP profiles, you must add the MAC to the RADIUS database.

Each AP profile has one global MAC authentication list which is either a list to deny access to 
all MAC addresses on the list or to allow access to all MAC addresses on the list. To se the 
mode for the default AP Profile, click the 

Administration > Basic Setup > AAA/RADIUS

 

tab. Set the MAC Authentication Default Action field to Allow or Deny all MAC Addresses in 
the list. To set the mode for a different AP profile go to the 

Global

 tab on the AP Profile to 

configure.

The switch does not remove MAC entries from this list even when a client successfully 
authenticates with an AP. The historical ad hoc data gives you more time to take action against 
clients that establish ad hoc networks on the WLAN.

Table 52. 

Ad Hoc Client Status

Field

Description

MAC Address

The Ethernet address of the client. If the Detection Mode is Beacon then the 
client is represented as an AP in the RF Scan database and the Neighbor AP 
List. If the Detection Mode is Data Frame then the client information is in the 
Neighbor Client List. 

AP MAC Address

The base Ethernet MAC Address of the managed AP which detected the 
client.

Location

The configured descriptive location for the managed AP.

Radio

The radio interface and its configured mode that detected the ad hoc device.

Detection Mode

The mechanism of detecting this Ad Hoc device. The possible values are 
Beacon Frame or Data Frame.

Age

Time in seconds since last detection of the ad hoc network.
