System Configuration
Local MAC Authentication – Configures the local MAC authentication database. The
MAC database provides a mechanism to take certain actions based on a wireless
client's MAC address. The MAC list can be configured to allow or deny network
access to specific clients.
• System Default: Specifies a default action for all unknown MAC addresses (that is,
those not listed in the local MAC database).
• Deny: Blocks access for all MAC addresses except those listed in the local
database as "Allow."
• Allow: Permits access for all MAC addresses except those listed in the local
database as "Deny."
• MAC Authentication Settings: Enters specified MAC addresses and permissions
into the local MAC database.
• MAC Address: Physical address of a client. Enter six pairs of hexadecimal digits
separated by hyphens; for example, 00-90-D1-12-AB-89.
• Permission: Select Allow to permit access or Deny to block access. If Delete is
selected, the specified MAC address entry is removed from the database.
• Update: Enters the specified MAC address and permission setting into the local
database.
• MAC Authentication Table: Displays current entries in the local MAC database.
