• Allow only stations in the list. Any station that is not in the Stations List is denied access to the

Stations List This is the local list of clients that are either permitted or denied access to the network through the
AP. To add a MAC Address to the local Stations List, enter its 48-bit MAC address into the lower text
boxes, then click Add.
To remove a MAC Address from the Stations List, select its 48-bit MAC address, then click Remove.
The stations in the list will either be allowed or denied access based on how you set the filter in the
previous field.
Note: After you configure local MAC Authentication settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to
save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this
happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when
WLAN traffic is low.

network through the AP. All other stations are permitted access.
Note: The filter you select is applied to the clients in the station list, regardless of whether that
station list is local or on the RADIUS server.
Note: If the MAC authentication type for the VAP is set to Local, the AP uses the Stations List to
permit or deny the clients access to the network. If the MAC authentication type is set to RADIUS,
the AP ignores the MAC addresses configured in this list and uses the list that is stored on the
RADIUS server. The MAC authentication type is set on the VAP configuration page.
