MAC Access
The MAC Access sub-tab allows you to build a list of stations, identified by their MAC addresses, authorized to access the network through
the AP. The list is stored inside each AP within your network. Note that you must reboot the AP for any changes to the MAC Access Control
Table to take effect. Up to 1000 entries can be made in the table.
The “MAC ACL Status” parameter (configurable on the SSID/VLAN > Wireless sub-tab) is per VLAN if VLAN Management is enabled. All
other parameters besides “MAC ACL Status” are configured per AP, even if VLAN is enabled.
The following list details the configurable MAC Access parameters.
NOTE
MAC Access Control status is enabled or disabled when configuring each Security Profile.
•
Operation Type: Choose between Passthru and Block. This determines how the stations identified in the MAC Access Control Table are
filtered.
•
If set to Passthru, only the addresses listed in the Control Table will pass through the bridge.
•
If set to Block, the bridge will block traffic to or from the addresses listed in the Control Table.
•
MAC Access Control Table: Click Add to create a new entry. Click Edit to change an existing entry. Each entry contains the following
field:
–
MAC Address: Enter the wireless client’s MAC address.
–
Comment: Enter an optional comment such as the client’s name.
–
Status: The entry is enabled automatically when saved (so the Status field is only visible when editing an entry). You can also disable
or delete entries by changing this field’s value.
NOTE
For larger networks that include multiple Access Points, you may prefer to maintain this list on a centralized location using the
Access Control Via RADIUS Authentication

Each SSID/VLAN can have its own Security Profile that defines its security mode, authentication mechanism, and encryption, so that
customers can have multiple types of clients (non-WEP, WEP, 802.1x, WPA) on the same system, but separated per VLAN. Refer to the
section for more information. These parameters are configurable on the Wireless-A and Wireless-B sub-tabs.
