Setting Up the Access Point
Controlling Access to the Wireless Network
Controlling Access to the Wireless
Network
You can configure the access point to authenticate client MAC addresses
against a database stored locally on the access point or remotely on a RADIUS
server. Client MAC addresses on the local database can be specified as allowed
or denied access the network. This enables the access point to control which
devices can associate with the access point.
Note Access control settings for each SSID/wireless interface need to be configured
separately. Enabling access control for one SSID will not enable access control
for other SSIDs.
Figure 4-13. Access Control Page
There are two options for setting up access control on the wireless network:
■ Local MAC authentication, and
■ Remote MAC authentication
Note You can only use one type of MAC authentication at any given time.
