Importing MAC Standard ACLs
Instead of (or in addition to) manually configuring MAC standard ACLs
(filters) on your Wireless Edge Services xl Module, you can import a .cvs file
that includes these ACLs to your module. The file should be saved on the local
disk of your management station.
You can create the ACLs file using a spreadsheet application. Include four
columns for each ACL. Table 13-4 displays the information specified in that
column and valid values for that column. The column number matters; in other
words, the first column for each row must include a number from 1 to 1000,
and this number specifies the ACLs index number.
Table 13-4. Required Information in a File To Be Imported to the Wireless Edge
Services xl Modules List of MAC Filters
Alternatively, you can configure ACLs on another module, export the ACLs to
a .cvs file, and then import that file to your module.
When you import the file, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module saves each
row in the imported file as an ACL in its list of MAC standard ACLs (filters).
Your module can already have filters configured on it; the ACLs in the imported
file are simply added to the list.
The new ACLs should have different index numbers than the current ACLs. If
you want the imported ACLs to override the currently configured ACLs, you
should delete those ACLs first.
Column Number Specifies Valid Values
1 Station-ACL Index—the order in which the
module processes this ACL (as compared to
other MAC standard ACLs)
1 to 1000
2 Starting MAC—first MAC address in the range of
addresses selected by this ACL
any MAC address in AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF format
3 Ending MAC—final MAC address in the range of
addresses selected by this ACL (often the same
as the starting address)
any MAC address in AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF format
4 Allow/Deny—the action the module performs on
selected stations (does or does not allow them to
connect to the WLAN)
•Allow
•Deny
