Controlling Access by MAC Authentication 67
5 Managing the Access Point
Table 18 describes the fields and configuration options available on the MAC Authentication
page.
NOTE: After you configure the settings on the MAC Authentication page, you must
click Update to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some
access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes.
If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low.
Configuring MAC Authentication on the RADIUS Server
If you use RADIUS MAC authentication for MAC-based access control, you must configure
MAC entries in the RADIUS server, as described in
Table 19 .
Table 18.
MAC Authentication
Field Description
Filter To set the MAC Address Filter, click one of the following buttons:
• Allow only stations in the list
• Block all stations in list
This setting applies to both RADIUS and local MAC authentication.
Stations List To add a MAC Address to Stations List, enter its 48-bit MAC address
into the lower text boxes, then click Add.
The MAC Address is added to the Stations List.
To remove a MAC Address from the Stations List, select its 48-bit MAC
address, then click Remove.
The stations in the list will either be allowed or denied AP access based
on how you set the Filter.
