Import an existing MAC access control list

You can import an existing access control list (ACL) that is based on up to 512 MAC
addresses. You can import the list into any MAC ACL, but the MAC addresses on the
list are available only for the MAC ACL into which you import the list. That is, if you want
to use the same list in another MAC ACL, you must also import the list into that MAC
ACL.
The file with MAC addresses must be in the following format:
• Entries in the file must be MAC addresses only in hexadecimal format with each octet
separated by a hyphen, for example 00-11-22-33-44-55.
• You must separate entries with a comma.
• The file must be in text format (that is, with a .txt or .cfg extension).
You can use a MAC ACL to control which WiFi devices can access a WiFi network. You
can apply a MAC ACL to more than one WiFi network.
To import an existing MAC ACL:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 43.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
