Wireless Network Management
MAC Filters (Local MAC Authentication)
With this configuration, only the stations allowed by ACLs 2 and 3 can con-
nect to MyWLAN. Notice that the network administrators have numbered the
ACL that denies all stations as 100. They can add ACLs to allow other stations,
and as long as these ACLs have an index number lower than 100, the Wireless
Edge Services zl Module will process them before it processes the ACL that
denies all stations.
Exporting and Importing MAC Standard ACLs (Filters)
You can export the MAC standard ACLs (filters) configured on the Wireless
Edge Services zl Module to the local disk of the management station. Export-
ing the ACLs enables you to archive them and also to upload them to another
device that needs to enforce the same policies.
The filters save as a .cvs file, which you can open with a spreadsheet
application. This file includes four columns for information in the ACL:
■ Station ACL Index
■ Starting MAC
■ Ending MAC
■ Allow/Deny
The first line in the file lists these four names. Each subsequent line specifies
the values associated with one of the exported ACLs.
You can also import a .cvs file to the Wireless Edge Services zl Module. In this
way, you can quickly configure all of your modules with the same MAC
standard ACLs. See “Importing MAC Standard ACLs” on page 12-84 for
information on information that the .cvs file must include.
Exporting MAC Standard ACLs
To export the MAC standard ACLs configured on your module, follow these
steps:
1. Select Security > MAC Filters.
2. Select the ACL that you want to export.
If you want to export all of the ACLs in the same file, select an ACL and
then press
Ctrl+A.
