Authentication
Wireless clients can be authenticated for network access by checking their MAC
address against the local database configured on the access point, or by using a
database configured on a central RADIUS server. Alternatively, authentication can
be implemented using the IEEE 802.1X network access control protocol.
You can configure a list of the MAC addresses for wireless clients that are authorized
to access the network. This provides a basic level of authentication for wireless
clients attempting to gain access to the network. A database of authorized MAC
addresses can be stored locally on the access point or remotely on a central RADIUS
server. (Default: Local MAC)
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.
