Wireless Client
Blacklist
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/add client blacklist <mac-addr>
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/del client blacklist <mac-addr>
These commands let you add and remove a MAC address from a client blacklist.
If a wireless client’s MAC address matches an entry on the blacklist, the client
cannot associate with the AP. The client blacklist can contain up to 16 entries.
Each physical interface can have its own client blacklist.
Use the
show config access
command to display the current client blacklist
entries.

List
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/show ssid <ssid_index> acl
[page <page-number> <page-size>]
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/add ssid <ssid_index> acl-mac-address
<mac-address>
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/del ssid <ssid_index> acl-mac-address
<mac-address>
/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ssid <ssid_index> acl
{enabled|disabled}
You can create a local list of clients (an ACL) that controls access to the
network. The list can contain up to 256 clients per SSID. Clients are identified
by the MAC address of their network card. If you have multiple BelAir100SN
units in your network, you need to create this list for every AP.
You should only use an ACL as an extra security measure if:
• you cannot or prefer not to set up a RADIUS server
• your network provides access to network clients which do not support
RADIUS authentication
In both cases, it is recommended that you enable pre-shared key encryption
(WEP, WPA, WPA2 or WPA2mixed).
The
enabled
setting for the
set acl
command means that only the wireless
clients on the ACL can access the network. All other clients are denied access.
The
disabled
setting means that all wireless clients can access the network. See
“AP Secure Port Mode” on page 111
Typically, you enable ACL mode only after you have added all the desired MAC
addresses to the control list.
CAUTION!
When used with multiple SSIDs, this method affects wireless clients attempting
to associate with any of the SSIDs.
Use the
show ssid table
command to determine
<ssid_index>
.
