Configuring MAC Access Control
Disabling MAC
Access Control
The access point has the MAC Access Control feature to add security to
VAPs by authenticating the MAC addresses of wireless clients. The
access point forwards traffic from only approved addresses.
You have the following options for MAC Access Control:
"Disabling MAC Access Control" on page 121
"Authenticating Using Both MAC Address List and RADIUS" on
page 122
"Authenticating Using RADIUS" on page 125
"Authenticating Using MAC Address List" on page 127
"Application Proxy" on page 128
To disable MAC Access Control of the on-board MAC address list and
external RADIUS server, perform the following procedure:
1. Select Settings > VAP / Security from the main menu.
2. Select Radio1 or Radio2 from the sub-menu. The default is Radio1.
You can configure only one radio at a time.
3. Select a VAP to configure from the next sub-menu. The default is
VAP0.
Note
You can configure multiple VAPs without saving each VAP
configuration page. You can save multiple VAP configurations all at
once by clicking the SAVE & APPLY button.
4. Select the MAC Access Control tab. See Figure 40.
