6.2.2 Access Control Lists

Use the switch Access Control List (ACL) to specify which mobile units can or cannot gain access to the WLAN.
The ACL employs an adoption rule for allowing or denying specific mobile units by way of exception. By default,
all mobile units can gain access.
The ACL contains MAC addresses for MUs allowed to associate with the switch. This provides security by
preventing unauthorized access. Additionally, the switch uses a disallowed address list of MAC addresses to
prevent the switch from communicating with specified destinations.
