Note that it is possible to prevent a station from associating to one WLAN but
to allow the station to associate to another.
Just as you can make an ACL a member of more than one WLAN, you can
associate more than one ACL to a WLAN. The module filters traffic first against
the ACL with the lowest index number, then against the ACL with the next
lowest number, and so on. Parsing stops with the first successful match to an
ACL.
In Figure 13-57, network administrators have created four ACLs. The first
ACL denies a single station, the second and third ACLs allow stations, and
the fourth ACL denies all stations. The network administrators made all these
ACLs members of the WLAN called MyWLAN.
With this configuration, only the stations allowed by ACLs 2 and 3 can con-
nect to MyWLAN. Notice that the network administrators have numbered the
ACL that denies all stations as 100. They can add ACLs to allow other stations,
