Configuring a MAC Filter List Locally on the WAP Device

Configuring a MAC Filter List Locally on the WAP device

The WAP device supports one local MAC filter list only; that is, the same list applies to all 
VAPs that are enabled to use the local list. The filter can be configured to grant access only to 
the MAC addresses on the list, or to deny access only to addresses on the list.

Up to 512 MAC addresses can be added to the filter list.

To configure MAC filtering:

STEP 1

Select Wireless > MAC Filtering in the navigation pane.

MAC Filtering

STEP  2

Select how the WAP device uses the filter list:

•

Allow only stations in the list—Any station that is not in the Stations List is denied 
access to the network through the WAP device.

•

Block all stations in list—Only the stations that appear in the list are denied access to 
the network through the WAP device. All other stations are permitted access.

NOTE

The filter setting also applies to the MAC filtering list stored on the RADIUS 

server, if one exists.

STEP  3

In the MAC Address field, enter the MAC address to allow or block and click Add.

The MAC address appears in the Stations List.

STEP  4

Continue entering MAC addresses until the list is complete, and then click Save. The changes 
are saved to the Startup Configuration.

NOTE

To remove a MAC address from the Stations List, select it and then click Remove.
