l Configuring MAC Authentication for Wireless Network Profiles on page 178 l Configuring MAC Authentication for Wired Profiles on page 179 Configuring MAC Authentication for Wireless Network Profiles You can configure MAC authentication for a wired profile in the Instant UI or CLI. In the Instant UI To enable MAC Authentication for a wireless network: 1. On the Network tab, click New to create a new network profile or select an existing profile for which you want to enable MAC authentication and click edit. 2. In the Edit or New WLAN window, ensure that all required WLAN and VLAN attributes are defined, and then click Next. 3. On the Security tab, select Enabled from the MAC authentication drop-down list, for Personal or Open security level. 4. Specify the type of authentication server to use. 5. If the internal authentication server is used, perform the following steps to allow MAC address based authentication: a. Click the Users link against the Internal server field. The Users window is displayed. b. Specify the client MAC address as the user name and password. c. Specify the type of the user (employee or guest). d. Click Add. e. Repeat the steps to add more users. f. Click OK. 6. To allow the W-IAP to use a delimiter in the MAC authentication request, specify a character ( for example, colon or dash) as a delimiter for the MAC address string. For example, if you specify the colon as a delimiter, MAC addresses in the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx format are used. If the delimiter is not specified, the MAC address in the xxxxxxxxxxxx format is used. 7. To allow the W-IAP to use uppercase letters in the MAC address string, set Uppercase support to Enabled. 8. Configure other parameters as required. 9. Click Next to define access rules, and then click Finish to apply the changes.
