MAC-Address-Based Access Control

With MAC-Address-Based Access Control, you can specify the wireless client computers that are permitted or not permitted to associate with the AWK-1100. When the table type is set to inclusive, entries in the table are permitted to associate with the AWK-1100. When the table type is set to exclusive, entries in the table are not permitted to associate with the AWK-1100.

1.Select Enabled from the Functionality drop-down list.

2.Set the Access control type to exclusive.

3.Specify the MAC address of a wireless client to be denied access, and then click Add.

To grant access for wireless clients to the wireless network:

1.Select Enabled from the Functionality drop-down list.

Instead of manually entering MAC addresses to the access control table one by one, you can prepare a text file that contains all the MAC addresses and put it on a TFTP server, and then command the AWK-1100 to download the MAC ACL (Access Control List) file from the TFTP server. The following figure shows the contents of a sample ACL file.
