For security reason, using MAC ACL's (MAC Address Access
List) creates another level of difficulty to hacking a network. A
MAC ACL is created and distributed to AP so that only
authorized NIC's can connect to the network. While MAC
address spoofing is a proven means to hacking a network this
can be used in conjunction with additional security measures to
increase the level of complexity of the network security
decreasing the chance of a breach.
MAC addresses can be add/delete/edit from the ACL list
depending on the MAC Access Policy.
On this page you can allow or deny access to your wireless
network based off the clients MAC address. Choose "Allowed
Listed" and only the clients whose MAC addresses are in the
access control list will be able to connect. When "Deny Listed" is
selected, the wireless clients on this list will not be able to
connect to the access point. To access the
