Description
Table 1 has the following columns:
●
Radio
Shows the available WLAN interfaces in this column.
●
MAC Mode
Specify how a MAC address is assigned to the client. The following are possible:
–
Automatic
The client automatically adopts the source MAC address of the first frame that it
receives over the Ethernet interface.
–
Manual
If you select Manual, enter the MAC address in the "MAC Address" column.
–
Own
The client uses the MAC address of the Ethernet interface for the WLAN interface.
–
Layer 2 Tunnel
The client uses the MAC address of the Ethernet interface for the WLAN interface.
The network is also informed of the MAC addresses connected to the Ethernet
