Adding the Access Point MAC Address to the Wireless LAN Controller

appears.

Step 3

Under AAA in the left frame, click MAC Filtering. The Security MAC Filtering page appears.

Step 4

Click New. The MAC Filters New page appears.

Step 5

Enter the MAC address of the access point in the MAC Address field. You can also use the
config macfilter add command to add a MAC filter entry to the controller.

Step 7

Enter a description (32 characters maximum) of the access point in the Description field.

Step 8

Click Apply.

Step 10

Repeat this process to add other access points to the list.

filter entry on the controller.
