Types of Client Blacklisting The following types of client blacklisting can be generated in an Instant:  Manual Blacklisting  Dynamic Blacklisting  Authentication Failure Blacklisting  Session Firewall Based Blacklisting Manual Blacklisting Manual blacklisting is the simplest way to add a client to the blacklist. In manual blacklisting, the MAC address of the client has to be known to the user. These clients would be added into a permanent blacklist. These clients are not allowed to connect to the network unless they are removed from the blacklist. Adding a Client to the Manual Blacklist To add a client to the blacklist manually using the MAC address of the client, perform the following steps: 1. Click on the PEF link and then select Blacklisting tab. 2. Click on the New button under the Manual Blacklisting window. 3. Enter the MAC address of the client to be blacklisted in the MAC address to add textbox. Figure 157 Manual Blacklisting 4. Click Ok. The Blacklisted Since tab displays the time at which the current blacklisting started for the client. 5. To delete a client from the manual blacklist, select the MAC Address of the client under the Manual Blacklisting window and then click Delete. Dynamic Blacklisting The clients can be blacklisted dynamically when they exceed the authentication failure threshold or a blacklisting rule was triggered as part of the authentication process. Authentication Failure Blacklisting When the time taken by a client fails to authenticate exceeds the configured threshold, the client would be automatically blacklisted by an IAP. 194 | Policy Enforcement Firewall Dell PowerConnect W-Series Instant Access Point 6.1.3.1-3.0.0.0 | User Guide
