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 access point or
remotely on a central RADIUS server.
(Default: Disabled)
• Disabled: No checks are performed on an associating station’s MAC address.
• Local MAC: The MAC address of the associating station is compared against the
local database stored on the access point. Use the Local MAC Authentication
section of this web page to set up the local database, and configure all access
points in the wireless network service area with the same MAC address database.
• Radius MAC: The MAC address of the associating station is sent to a configured
RADIUS server for authentication. When using a RADIUS authentication server for
MAC address authentication, the server must first be configured in the Radius
window (see “RADIUS” on page 6-7). The database of MAC addresses and
filtering policy must be defined in the RADIUS server.
Note:
MAC addresses on the RADIUS server can be entered in four different formats
(see “RADIUS” on page 6-7).
