MAC Authentication in W-ClearPass Guest
W-ClearPass Guest supports a number of options for MAC Authentication and the ability to authenticate
devices.
The advanced features described in this section generally require a WLAN capable of MAC authentication with
captive portal fallback. Please refer to your WLAN documentation for setting up the controller appropriately.
To verify that you have the most recent MAC Authentication Plugin installed and enabled before you configure
these advanced features, go to Administration > Plugin Manager. For information on plugin management,
see "Plugin Manager" on page 635.
MAC Address Formats
Different vendors format the client MAC address in different ways—for example:
l 112233AABBCC
l 11:22:33:aa:bb:cc
l 11-22-33-AA-BB-CC
W-ClearPass Guest supports adjusting the expected format of a MAC address. To configure formatting of
separators and case in the address, as well as user detection and device filtering for views, go to
Administration > Plugin Manager and click the Configuration link for the MAC Authentication plugin.
The MAC Authentication Configuration page opens.
