The MAC address appears in the Stations List.

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

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

After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and 
restarted. When this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We 
recommend that you change WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will 
least affect your wireless clients. 

If one or more VAPs are configured to use a MAC filter stored on a RADIUS 
authentication server, you must configure the station list on the RADIUS server. The 
format for the list is described in this table:

 The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows you to connect multiple WAP551 
and WAP561 devices. With WDS, access points communicate with one another 
without wires. This capability is critical in providing a seamless experience for 
roaming clients and for managing multiple wireless networks. It can also simplify 
the network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required. You can 
configure the WAP device in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge mode 
based on the number of links to connect.

In the point-to-point mode, the WAP device accepts client associations and 
communicates with wireless clients and other repeaters. The WAP device 
forwards all traffic meant for the other network over the tunnel that is established 
between the access points. The bridge does not add to the hop count. It functions 
as a simple OSI Layer 2 network device.
