5 Managing the Access Point Table 18 describes the fields and configuration options available on the MAC Authentication page. Table 18. MAC Authentication Field Filter Stations List Description To set the MAC Address Filter, click one of the following buttons: • Allow only stations in the list • Block all stations in list This setting applies to both RADIUS and local MAC authentication. To add a MAC Address to Stations List, enter its 48-bit MAC address into the lower text boxes, then click Add. The MAC Address is added to the Stations List. To remove a MAC Address from the Stations List, select its 48-bit MAC address, then click Remove. The stations in the list will either be allowed or denied AP access based on how you set the Filter. NOTE: After you configure the settings on the MAC Authentication page, you must click Update to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low. Configuring MAC Authentication on the RADIUS Server If you use RADIUS MAC authentication for MAC-based access control, you must configure MAC entries in the RADIUS server, as described in Table 19. Table 19. RADIUS Server Attributes for MAC Authentication RADIUS Server Attribute User-Name (1) User-Password (2) Description Value MAC address of the client station. A fixed global password used to lookup a client MAC entry. Valid Ethernet MAC Address. NOPASSWORD Controlling Access by MAC Authentication 67
