Your settings are saved Select a MAC ACL for a WiFi network After you set up one or more local MAC access control lists (ACLs, also referred to as access lists; see Manage local MAC access control lists on page 116), you can select an ACL for use with an SSID. Depending on the policy that you defined for an ACL, WiFi devices for which the MAC address is on the MAC ACL are either allowed access to the access point through this SSID or denied access to the SSID. If denied access to the SSID, these devices might be able to connect to the access point through another SSID if you did not set up MAC ACL security for that SSID. You can also set up a RADIUS server (see Set up RADIUS servers on page 129) and select the RADIUS MAC ACL. You must define the ACL on the RADIUS server, using the following format for client MAC addresses in the RADIUS server: If the client MAC address is 00:0a:95:9d:68:16, specify it as 000a959d6816 in the RADIUS server. Note: A RADIUS MAC ACL cannot function if the WiFi security is WPA2 Enterprise or WPA3 Enterprise. If you want to use a RADIUS MAC ACL, select a different type of WiFi security for the WiFi network (see Change the authentication and encryption for a WiFi network on page 71). Before you select a MAC ACL for a WiFi network, review the policy of the ACL: • ACL policy that allows access: A WiFi device on the ACL is allowed access to the SSID while all other WiFi devices are denied access to the SSID. • ACL policy that denies access: A WiFi device on the ACL is denied access to the SSID while all other WiFi devices are allowed access to the SSID.
