Adding MAC-ACL Users
Use the MAC-ACL tab (Figure 165) to identify and authenticate users by the MAC address of the
computer rather than by login. This type of authentication is generally used to accommodate legacy
equipment that does not support user-based authentication. MAC addresses are checked when the
SSID has MAC-ACL enabled and Open access, static WEP keys, or WPA-PSK encryption are
used. For more information on security options, see Chapter 7, “Managing Security.”
