Configuring MAC Authentication for a Network Profile
MAC authentication can be used alone or it can be combined with other forms of
authentication such as WEP authentication. However, it is recommended that you do not use
the MAC-based authentication.
This section describes the following procedures:
● Configuring MAC Authentication for Wireless Network Profiles
● Configuring MAC Authentication for Wired Profiles
Configuring MAC Authentication for Wireless Network Profiles
You can configure MAC authentication with 802.1X authentication for a wireless network
profile using the SCALANCE W UI or the CLI.
To configure both MAC and 802.1X authentications for a wireless network::
1. On the
tab, click
to create a new network profile or select an existing profile
for which you want to enable MAC and 802.1X authentications and click
.
2. In the
or the
window, ensure that all required WLAN and
VLAN attributes are defined, and then click
.
3. On the
tab, ensure that the required parameters for MAC authentication and
802.1X authentication are configured.
4. Select the
Perform MAC authentication before 802.1X
check box to use 802.1X
authentication only when the MAC authentication is successful.
5. Select the
MAC authentication fail-thru
check box to use 802.1X authentication even
when the MAC authentication fails.
6. Click
and then click
to apply the changes
To configure both MAC and 802.1X authentications for a wireless network:
