Setting Up the Access Point
Controlling Access to the Wireless Network
Setting Up the Access Point
Figure 4-13. Access Control Page
There are two options for setting up access control on the wireless network:
■ Local MAC authentication, and
■ Remote MAC authentication
Note You can only use one type of MAC authentication at any given time. When
both local and remote MAC authentication are enabled and configured, local
MAC authentication will override remote MAC authentication.
Before setting up either type of MAC authentication, you will need to list down
the MAC addresses of the wireless stations that you want to allow or block.
Setting Up Local MAC Authentication
Local MAC authentication allows you to add entries to the built-in MAC
authentication database and to take certain actions based on a wireless
client’s MAC address. The MAC list can be configured to allow or deny
network access to specific clients.
Note You can add up to 16 MAC addresses to the local MAC authentication
database.
