Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address

For increased security, you can restrict access to an SSID by allowing access to only specific computers or wireless stations based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted computers so that unknown computers cannot connect to the wireless access point. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. You can configure MAC address access control for each wireless profile individually.

Note: For wireless adapters, you can usually find the MAC address printed on the wireless adapter.

To allow or restrict access to a wireless profile based on MAC addresses:

1.On the Wireless Profiles screen (see Figure 341 on page 588), select the check box to the left of the wireless profile for which you want to set up access control.

2.Click the ACL table button. The Address Control List screen displays. (The following figure shows some examples.)
