ACLI reference for Wireless LAN (WLAN) 8100
If the MAC address is configured on the black list or not configured in either list, access
is denied.
• Validating against a remote RADIUS server:
For improved scalability, client MAC authentication against a RADIUS server is now
supported. In this method of authentication, the MAC address of a mobile client device is
verified against a remote database interfaced by a RADIUS server.
This mode of authentication is useful in the validation of wireless devices that do not
support the 802.1X or the WPA authentication methods. It is also useful in enterprise
networks that support the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy, personally-owned
devices, IT-issued devices and guests.
For more information, see the Avaya WLAN 8100 Fundamentals (NN47251–102).
