Using the Configuration Management System 39

Using the Access You can use the Access Control List to allow or prohibit access to the Control List wireless network from Ethernet clients.

Follow these steps to build the Access Control List:

1Under System Configuration, click Access Control List.

2On the Access Control List page, click Add. The Access Control List New ACL page appears.

3On the New ACL page, enter the MAC address of the client you want to add to the Access Control List, select the permission type, and click the Add button to substantially add it.

4Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each client.

5Select the System Default Mode:

■Allow—allows the client to access the Bridge.

■Deny—prohibits the client from accessing the Bridge.

CAUTION: With the Allow option of the System Default Mode selected, the Bridge allows all Ethernet frames except those carrying the

MAC addresses that are specified in the Access Control List and have the permission type Deny. Similarly, with the Deny option of the System Default Mode selected, the Bridge denies all Ethernet frames except those carrying the MAC addresses that are specified in the Access Control List and have the permission type Allow.

Make sure that the MAC address of the computer through which you are configuring the Bridge is not specified in the Access Control List with the permission type Deny if you want to set the access control type to Allow. If you want to set the Access Control Type to Deny, make sure that the MAC address of the computer is included in the Access Control List with the permission type Allow. Failure to do so results in access to the Bridge being blocked; the Bridge will no longer be configurable through the computer.

6Click Apply.

To delete one or more than one client(s) from the Access Control List, select the client(s) and then click Delete.
