• Deny List: Denies the listed MAC addresses permission to
associate to the AP. All others are allowed. The minus symbol
appears before the SSID name for a deny list.
• Disabled: A red dot appears before the SSID name for a
disabled list. A green dot appears before the SSID name for
an allow or deny list.
3. MAC Address: If you want to add a MAC address to the ACL for the
selected SSID, enter the new MAC address. You may use a wildcard (*)
for one or more digits to match a range of addresses. Delete: You may
delete selected MAC addresses from this list by clicking their Delete
buttons .
4. Click the Save button if you wish to make your changes permanent.
Honeypots
The honeypot SSID feature prevents the airwaves from being crowded with
probes for named SSIDs. These probes are automatically generated by some
popular wireless devices. When you create and enable a honeypot SSID on an AP,
it responds to any station probe looking for a named open SSID (unencrypted and
unauthenticated) that is not configured on the AP. For more details, see “High
Density 2.4G Enhancement—Honeypot SSID” on page 274.
This page allows you to create a honeypot SSID, enter a whitelist of SSID names
that are not to be honeypotted, and define alternate names for the SSID that will
be broadcast instead of “honeypot”.
In addition to these lists, other authentication methods (for
example, RADIUS) are still enforced for users.
Use the honeypot feature carefully as it could interfere with legitimate
SSIDs.
