D-Link Unified Access System User Manual

Configuring MAC Authentication

For each network, you can configure whether to use a local or RADIUS database for client MAC authentication. To use RADIUS-based MAC authentication for wireless clients, you add an entry for each client in the etc/raddb/users file. If the default action for MAC Authentication on the switch is set to “Allow,” only clients that have an entry in the users file are allowed access to the network through the AP. If the default action is set to “deny” the clients with a MAC address in the users file cannot authenticate with the AP.

The following line is an example of an entry for a client in the etc/raddb/users file.

00-0F-FE-1C-F2-67 Auth-Type: = Local, User-Password == “NOPASSWORD"

NOTE: The password is always NOPASSWORD, and the MAC address of the client uses hyphens, not colons.
