Authentication
Wireless clients can be authenticated for network access by
checking their MAC address against the local database
configured on the access point, or by using the IEEE 802.1x
network access authentication protocol to look up their MAC
addresses on a RADIUS server. The 802.1x protocol can also be
configured to check other user credentials such as a user name
and password.
MAC Authentication
– You can configure a list of the MAC
addresses for wireless clients that are authorized to access the
network. This provides a basic level of authentication for wireless
clients attempting to gain access to the network. A database of
authorized MAC addresses can be stored locally on the
SMC2555W-AG or remotely on a central RADIUS server.
(Default: Local MAC)
•
Local MAC: The MAC address of the associating station is
compared against the local database stored on the access
