Select Open, Shared Key, or Network-EAPto set the authentications the access point recognizes. See Chapter 8, “Security Overview,” for a description of authentication types.

If you use open or shared authentication as well as EAP authentication, select Require EAP under Open or Shared to block client devices that are not using EAP from authenticating through the access point.

Unicast MAC address filters allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast packets sent to specific MAC addresses. You can create a filter that passes traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify, or you can create a filter that blocks traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify.

See Chapter 8, “Setting Up MAC-Based Authentication,” for complete instructions on using MAC-based authentication on an authentication server. Read the “Creating a MAC Address Filter” section on page 5-7for complete instructions on setting up MAC address filters.

The drop-down menus for unicast address filters contain two options:

•Allowed—The access point forwards all traffic except packets sent to the MAC addresses listed as disallowed on the Address Filters page.

•Disallowed—The access point discards all traffic except packets sent to the MAC addresses listed as allowed on the Address Filters page or on your authentication server.

Select Disallowed for each authentication type that also uses MAC-based authentication.

Note If you plan to discard traffic to all MAC addresses except those you specify (the Disallowed setting), be sure to enter your own MAC address as allowed on the Address Filters page or on your authentication server.

Step 8 Click OK. Your settings are saved and you return to the AP Radio Advanced Setup page.

If clients are not filtered immediately, click Warm Restart System Now on the Manage System Configuration page to restart the access point. To reach the Manage System Configuration page, Click Cisco Services on the main Setup page and click Manage System Configuration on the Cisco Services Setup page.
