MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

Configuring MAC address lists
MAC lists are used by several options to allow/deny access to client stations. You can define up
to 75 MAC address lists with up to 256 entries in each list. The lists can be used to define MAC
addresses for the following features:
• The MAC filter option on a switch port (Controlled APs >> Configuration > Switch ports),
permitting you to limit switch port access to a specific devices based on their MAC address.
When used with this feature, a maximum of 256 addresses are supported per list.
• The Wireless MAC filter option in a VSC. When used with this feature, a maximum of 256
addresses are supported per list.
• The MAC lockout feature. When used with this feature, a maximum of 64 addresses are
supported per list.
The total number of MAC addresses defined for all lists cannot exceed 4800.
To define a MAC list, do the following:
1. Select Controller >> Security > MAC lists.
2. Select Add New MAC List. The Add/Edit MAC list page opens.
Each entry in the MAC list contains a MAC address and its associated mask. By varying the
mask, an entry can be defined to match a single address or a range of addresses.
3. Specify a Name to identify the MAC address list.
4. Specify the MAC address and Mask that you want to match, then select Add. Setting the Mask
to 00:00:00:00:00:00 is allowed, but not recommended since it will match all MAC addresses.
5. Repeat step 4 until you have defined all needed entries.
6. Select Save.
