Client Authentication section
Note: 
The options that display onscreen depend on the selection from Network Authentication drop-down 
list.
Network Authentication
From the drop-down list, select the authentication type to be used: see 
Data Encryption
From the drop-down list, select the data encryption type to be used. The 
options available for data encryption as well as other requirements such as 
entering a key or passphrase depend on the network authentication settings: 
see 
Wireless Client Security 
Separation
From the drop-down list, select Disable to prevent associated wireless clients 
from communicating with each other or Enable to allow such communication. 
Wireless client separation is intended for hotspots and other public access 
situations.
VLAN
Enter the VLAN ID to be associated with this security profile. This VLAN ID 
needs to match the VLAN ID that is used by other network devices.
Authentication Settings section
Note: 
The options that display onscreen depend on the selection from Network Authentication drop-down 
list.
Open System, Shared 
Key, WPA-PSK, 
WPA2-PSK, and 
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK
MAC ACL
Select one of the following radio buttons:
•  Local. Use local MAC authentication. The Local MAC ACL 
Group drop-down list displays so you can select a group. For 
more information, see 
•  External. Use external MAC authentication. The External 
Radius Server drop-down list displays so you can select a 
server. You can use either the basic-Auth RADIUS server or 
a RADIUS server of an advanced authentication group. You 
cannot use the external LDAP server. For information about 
setting up and enabling internal and external authentication 
servers, see 
Note: 
The MAC ACL radio buttons do not display onscreen if 
the network authentication uses an external RADIUS server. 
 
The reason for this is that you can configure either MAC 
authentication with an external RADIUS server or network 
authentication with an external RADIUS server, but not both. 
That is, if you configure an external RADIUS server with WPA, 
WPA2, or WPA & WPA2 (or you use Legacy 802.1X) , you 
cannot use external MAC authentication, and the MAC ACL 
radio buttons do not display on screen. You still can use 
internal MAC authentication.
