Table 37: MAC Filtering
Field Description
Filter To set the MAC Address Filter, select one of the following
options:
• Allow only stations in the list Any station that is not
in the stations list is denied access to the network
through the AP
• Block all stations in list Only the stations that appear in
the list are denied access to the network through the
AP All other stations are permitted access
Note:
The filter you select is applied to the clients in the
stations list, regardless of whether that station list is local or
on the RADIUS server
Stations List This is the local list of clients that are either permitted or
denied access to the network through the AP To add a
MAC address to the local stations list, enter its 48-bit MAC
address into the lower text boxes, then click Add
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
access based on how you set the filter in the previous field
The Access Point allows up to 512 MAC addresses to be
added to the station list
Note:
If MAC authentication for the VAP is set to Local,
the AP uses the stations list to permit or deny the clients
access to the network If the MAC authentication type is set
to RADIUS, the AP ignores the MAC addresses configured
in this list and uses the list that is stored on the RADIUS
server The MAC authentication type is set on the VAP page
Section 3: Configuring the Access Point
NOTE:
After you configure local MAC Authentication settings, you must click
Update to apply the changes and to save the settings Changing some
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 AP settings when WLAN traffic is low
