MAC Authentication
Building on our previous scenario, we will now assume that some basic form of authentication is required. If the number
of devices in the network is small, and over the air confidentiality is not a requirement, MAC-based authentication
provides a simple access control method.
A local database of allowed and denied MAC addresses is created. Whenever a VAP is configured with MAC
authentication, the access point uses this database to determine if a particular association request will be granted.
Two mutually exclusive lists are provided—allow lists and deny lists. If the allow list is configured, any station with a
MAC address not on the list will be denied access. Similarly, if the deny list is configured, all stations will be allowed
with the exception of the ones present on the list.
