Configuring Mac-Based Authentication On An Msm317 Switch Port; Configuring Mac-Based Filters On A Vsc - HP MSM7xx Management And Configuration Manual

User authentication, accounts, and addressing
MAC-based authentication
Configuring MAC-based authentication on an
MSM317 switch port
If a switch port on the MSM317 is not bound to a VSC, then MAC-based authentication can be
enabled on it. Select Controlled APs > [MSM317-AP] >> Configuration > Switch ports
> [switch-port] in the management tool.
MAC authentication tasks are handled by the MSM317. The MSM317 uses the services of a
third-party RADIUS server (configured by defining a RADIUS profile on the Controller >>
Authentication > RADIUS profiles page) to validate user login credentials.

Configuring MAC-based filters on a VSC

The Wireless MAC filter option enables you to control access to the wireless network based
on the MAC address of a wireless device. You can either block access or allow access,
depending on your requirements.
This feature is configured on the VSC profile page. (To open this page, see Viewing and
editing VSC profiles on page 5-4).
Note
When both this option and the MAC-based authentication option are enabled, MAC filtering
occurs first.
Address list
Contains the list of MAC addresses that are checked when filtering is enabled. Up to 64 MAC
addresses can be defined per VSC.
MAC address
Specify the MAC address as six pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by colons. For example:
00:00:00:0a:0f:01.
