System Configuration

MAC Authentication Session Timeout – Sets the interval at which associated clients
will be re-authenticated with the RADIUS server. (Range: 0-1440 minutes; Default:
0, that is, disabled)
WEB Redirect – Enables web-based authentication of wireless clients. This feature
supports billing for a public access wireless network without requiring 802.1X or
MAC authentication. After successful association to an access point, a client is
“redirected” to an access point login web page as soon as Internet access is
attempted. The client is then authenticated by entering a user name and password
on the web page. Authentication is determined by checking these credentials
against a database of user names and passwords stored n a RADIUS server that is
attached to the wired network. For information on configuring the RADIUS server’s
details on the access point, see “RADIUS Client” on page 6-54. (Default: Disabled)
Note: Enabling Web Redirect will cause the system to reboot after 5 seconds.
Local MAC Authentication – Configures the local MAC authentication database. The
MAC database provides a mechanism to take certain actions based on a wireless
client’s MAC address. The MAC list can be configured to allow or deny network
access to specific clients.
• System Default: Specifies a default action for all unknown MAC addresses (that
is, those not listed in the local MAC database).
• Deny: Blocks access for all MAC addresses except those listed in the local
database as “Allow.”
• Allow: Permits access for all MAC addresses except those listed in the local
database as “Deny.”
• MAC Authentication Settings: Enters specified MAC addresses and permissions
into the local MAC database.
• MAC Address: Physical address of a client. Enter six pairs of hexadecimal digits
separated by hyphens; for example, 00-90-D1-12-AB-89.
• Permission: Select Allow to permit access or Deny to block access. If Delete is
selected, the specified MAC address entry is removed from the database.
• Update: Enters the specified MAC address and permission setting into the local
database.
• MAC Authentication Table: Displays current entries in the local MAC database.
