Configuring Group MAC Access Control Lists
This configuration is optional. If you use Symbol, Proxim, or ProCurve 520WL wireless access points, AirWave enables
you to specify the MAC addresses of devices that are permitted to associate with APs in the Group. Other devices are
not able to associate to APs in the Group, even if the users of those devices are authorized users on the network.
Perform the following steps to use the MAC ACL function.
1. Browse to the Groups > MAC ACL configuration page. Figure 60 illustrates this page.
Figure 60:Groups > MAC ACL Page Illustration
2. Select Yes on the Use MAC ACL drop-down menu. Enter all authorized MAC addresses, separated by white spaces.
