Authentication Settings section
Note: The options that display onscreen depend on the selection from Network Authentication menu.
Note: The MAC ACL
buttons displays only when
you select Open System,
Shared Key, WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, or
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK
from the Network
Authentication menu.
MAC ACL Select one of the following radio buttons:
• Local. Use local MAC authentication.
The Local MAC ACL Group menu displays so you can
select a group. For more information, see Manage MAC
Authentication and MAC Authentication Groups on
page 146.
• External. Use external MAC authentication.
The External Radius Server menu displays so you can
select a server. You can select either the basic-Auth
RADIUS server or a RADIUS server of an advanced
authentication group. You cannot use the external LDAP
server.
For information about setting up and enabling internal and
external authentication servers, see Manage Authentication
Servers and Authentication Server Groups on page 140.
Note: The MAC ACL radio buttons do not display onscreen if
the network authentication uses an external RADIUS server.
The reason for this is that you can configure either MAC
authentication with an external RADIUS server or network
authentication with an external RADIUS server, but not both.
That is, if you configure an external RADIUS server with WPA,
WPA2, or WPA & WPA2 (or you use Legacy 802.1X), you
cannot use external MAC authentication, and the MAC ACL
radio buttons do not display onscreen. You can still use internal
MAC authentication.
Note: The Captive
Portal check box displays
only when you select
Open System, Shared
Key, WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, or
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK
from the Network
Authentication menu.
Captive Portal Select the Captive Portal check box if you want to enable a
guest portal or captive portal.
The Captive Portal menu displays so you can select a portal.
You can select either the Basic portal or a portal from the
advanced portal group.
For information about setting up portals, see Manage Guest
Network Access Through Guest Portals and Captive Portals on
page 223.
Note: If the network authentication uses a RADIUS server,
whether it is a local server or an external server, you cannot
configure captive portal authentication. That is, if you configure
a RADIUS server with WPA, WPA2, or WPA & WPA2 (or if you
use legacy 802.1X), the Captive Portal check box is not shown
onscreen.
