Viewing and Configuring MAC Network Access Rules 311

2Specify whether the rule is for wireless access to an SSID or access through a wired authentication port:

„If the rule is for access to an SSID, do one of the following:

„To match on any SSID name, leave the value any in the SSID box.

„To match only on a specific SSID name, select or type the name in the SSID box.

„If the rule is for access through a wired authentication port, select Wired.

CAUTION: The default SSID name any matches on all SSID names. If the SSID box contains any and you do not change the SSID name, the authentication rule allows clients who match the MAC address glob to access any SSID.

3In the User Glob box, type a full or partial username to be matched during authentication.

MAC addresses must be specified with colons as the delimiters (for example, 00:11:22:33:44:55). You can use wildcards by specifying an asterisk (*) in MAC addresses. The following lists examples of using wildcards in MAC addresses:

„* (all MAC addresses)

„00:*

„00:01:*

„00:01:02*

„00:01:02:03:*

„00:01:02:03:04:*

„00:01:02:03:04:0*

4Click Next.

5If the authentication rule is disabled, select Enabled.

When a rule is disabled, 3WXM does not add it to the switch’s configuration.

6Select the authentication method(s) in the Available RADIUS Server Groups list and click Add.

An authentication method specifies where the switch will look for user information to authenticate users. You can select a RADIUS server group, LOCAL (the switch’s local user database), or both.
