Authentication When 802.1X is enabled, the broadcast and session key rotation intervals can also be configured. Broadcast Key Refresh Rate: Sets the interval at which the broadcast keys are refreshed for stations using 802.1X dynamic keying. (Range: 0-1440 minutes; Default: 0 means disabled) Session Key Refresh Rate: The interval at which the access point refreshes unicast session keys for associated clients. (Range: 0-1440 minutes; Default: 0 means disabled) 802.1X Reauthentication Refresh Rate: The time period after which a connected client must be re-authenticated. During the re-authentication process of verifying the client's credentials on the RADIUS server, the client remains connected the network. Only if re-authentication fails is network access blocked. (Range: 0-65535 seconds; Default: 0 means disabled) 802.1X Supplicant - The access point can also operate in a 802.1X supplicant mode. This enables the access point itself to be authenticated with a RADIUS server using a configured MD5 user name and password. This prevents rogue access points from gaining access to the network. Local MAC Authentication - Configures the local MAC authentication database. The MAC database provides a mechanism 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. System Default: Specifies a default action for all unknown MAC addresses (that is, those not listed in the local MAC database). • Deny: Blocks access for all MAC addresses except those listed in the local database as "Allow." • Allow: Permits access for all MAC addresses except those listed in the local database as "Deny." MAC Authentication Settings: Enters specified MAC addresses and permissions into the local MAC database. • MAC Address: Physical address of a client. Enter six pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens; for example, 00-90-D1-12-AB-89. • Permission: Select Allow to permit access or Deny to block access. If Delete is selected, the specified MAC address entry is removed from the database. • Update: Enters the specified MAC address and permission setting into the local database. MAC Authentication Table: Displays current entries in the local MAC database. 4-13
