Figure 260 Local MAC authentication
• Remote MAC authentication: Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) based MAC
authentication. When RADIUS-based MAC authentication is used, the device operates as the
RADIUS client, and cooperates with the RADIUS server to perform the MAC authentication. If the
current client is found as an unknown client, the AP operates as the RADIUS client, and cooperates
with the RADIUS server to perform the MAC authentication for the client. After the RADIUS server
finishes the authentication for the client, the client can access the wireless network, and the RADIUS
server can issue the corresponding authorization information.
Figure 261 Remote MAC authentication
When a RADIUS server is used for MAC authentication, you can specify a domain for each wireless
service, and thus send MAC authentication information of different SSIDs to different remote RADIUS
servers.
