MAC Authentication

For some application, a RADIUS server is used to authenticate the Internet accessing permission. For those authorized
devices (MACs), they are allowed to access internet, and on the other hand, for those not authorized devices, the internet
accessing traffics will be blocked.
This gateway supports such MAC authentication function, the administrator has to configure the settings and create a
permissible user account list for those authorized devices. When the MAC Authentication function is enabled, the traffics
from the specified interface(s) will be applied with the MAC Authentication process transparently. The gateway will interact
with the RADIUS server, and provide the corresponding user information for authentication process.
