5.3.1.2 Configuring a WLAN Access Control List (ACL)

An Access Control List (ACL) affords a system administrator the ability to grant or restrict MU access
by specifying a MU MAC address or range of MAC addresses to either include or exclude from access
point connectivity. Use the
ACL policies (using the
ACL Policy sub-screen). Once new policies are defined, they are available for use within the
WLAN or Edit WLAN
requirements.
Motorola recommends using the New MU ACL Policy or Edit MU ACL Policy screens strategically to
name and configure ACL policies meeting the requirements of the particular WLANs they may map
to. However, be careful not to name policies after specific WLANs, as individual ACL policies can be
used by more than one WLAN. For detailed information on assigning ACL policies to specific WLANs,
see Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page
To create or edit ACL policies for WLANs:
