Note: After you conîšżgure the settings on the Authentication page, 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 trafîšżc is low.
Creating a Management Access Control List (ACL)
You can create an access control list (ACL) that lists up to îšżve IPv4 hosts and îšżve IPv6 hosts that are authorized to
access the AP management interface. If this feature is disabled, anyone can access the management interface from
any network client by supplying the correct AP username and password.
