Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Field Filter Stations List Description To set the MAC Address Filter, select one of the following options: •) Allow only stations in the list. Any station that is not in the Stations List is denied access to the network through the AP. •) Block all stations in list. Only the stations that appear in the list are denied access to the network through the AP. All other stations are permitted access. Note: The filter you select is applied to the clients in the station list, regardless of whether that station list is local or on the RADIUS server. This is the local list of clients that are either permitted or denied access to the network through the AP. To add a MAC Address to the local Stations List, enter its 48-bit MAC address into the lower text boxes, then click Add. 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 access based on how you set the filter in the previous field. Note: If the MAC authentication type for the VAP is set to Local, the AP uses the Stations List to permit or deny the clients access to the network. If the MAC authentication type is set to RADIUS, the AP ignores the MAC addresses configured in this list and uses the list that is stored on the RADIUS server. The MAC authentication type is set on the VAP configuration page. Table 30 - MAC Authentication Note: After you configure local MAC Authentication settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some 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 AP 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 a station list on the RADIUS server. The station list contains client MAC address entries, and the format for the list is described in the following table. RADIUS Server Attribute User-Name (1) User-Password (2) Description MAC address of the client station. A fixed global password used to lookup a client MAC entry. Value Valid Ethernet MAC Address. NOPASSWORD Table 31 - RADIUS Server Attributes for MAC Authentication Configuring Load Balancing You can set network utilization thresholds on the UAP to maintain the speed and performance of the wireless network as clients associate and disassociate with the AP. The load balancing settings apply to all supported radios. To configure load balancing and set limits and behavior to be triggered by a specified utilization rate of the access point, click the Load Balancing tab and update the fields shown in the following figure.

Section 4 - Managing the Access Point

Field

Description

Filter

To set the MAC Address Filter, select one of the following options:

•)

Allow only stations in the list

. Any station that is not in the Stations List is denied

access to the network through the AP.

•)

Block all stations in list

. Only the stations that appear in the list are denied access to

the network through the AP. All other stations are permitted access.

Note:

The ﬁlter you select is applied to the clients in the station list, regardless of whether

that station list is local or on the RADIUS server.

Stations List

This is the local list of clients that are either permitted or denied access to the network

through the AP. To

add

MAC Address

to the local Stations List, enter its 48-bit MAC

address into the lower text boxes, then click

Add

remove

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 access based on how you set the ﬁlter

in the previous ﬁeld.

Note:

If the MAC authentication type for the VAP is set to Local, the AP uses the Stations

List to permit or deny the clients access to the network. If the MAC authentication type is set

to RADIUS, the AP ignores the MAC addresses conﬁgured in this list and uses the list that is

stored on the RADIUS server. The MAC authentication type is set on the VAP conﬁguration

page.

Table 30 - MAC Authentication

Note:

After you conﬁgure local MAC Authentication settings, you must click

Apply

to apply the

changes and to save the settings. Changing some 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 AP 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 a station list on the

RADIUS server. The station list contains client MAC address entries, and the format for the list is described in the

following table.

RADIUS Server Attribute

Description

Value

User-Name (1)

MAC address of the client station.

Valid Ethernet MAC Address.

User-Password (2)

A ﬁxed global password used to

lookup a client MAC entry.

NOPASSWORD

Table 31 -

RADIUS Server Attributes for MAC Authentication

Conﬁguring Load Balancing

You can set network utilization thresholds on the UAP to maintain the speed and performance of the wireless network

as clients associate and disassociate with the AP. The load balancing settings apply to all supported radios.

To conﬁgure load balancing and set limits and behavior to be triggered by a speciﬁed utilization rate of the access

point, click the

Load Balancing

tab and update the ﬁelds shown in the following ﬁgure.
