MAC Filtering (ACL) Configuration (requires Level 10 permission)

Use this page to configure the Access Control List (ACL) settings that control user access to the WLAN.

User access can be configured using Permit or Deny lists located on the controller, as well as station MAC address filtering performed by a specific Radius Server. An ACL and the Radius Server can both be active to control access; the following table shows precedence when both are configured.

Radius Server Setting

MAC Filtering disabled no MAC filtering Radius MAC filtering only
Permit ACL enabled allow client in Permit list only check Permit list first, if not there, check Radius server
Deny ACL enabled Deny list used if not in Deny list, check Radius server
To configure ACL:
  1. In the ACL Environment State list, selecting a Permit or Deny ACL option activates a control list:
  2. To enable Radius Server MAC filtering, select a Radius profile from the Radius Profile Name drop-down list. (To activate the list, a Radius Profile must already be configured. To configure a Radius Profile click the Radius link under the Security heading in the Navigation Pane.) 
  3. To configure a secondary Radius Profile Name, select the profile name from the drop-down list. (To activate the list, a Radius Profile must already be configured. To configure a Radius Profile click the Radius link under the Security heading in the Navigation Pane.) 
  4. Click OK.
