Configuring MAC Authentication
The MAC Authentication option allows the user to configure a Radius server for user authentication with the
range of MAC addressees defined as allowed or denied access to the switch managed network.
To configure the format of MAC addresses used in MAC Authentications:
1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
2. Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab.
3. Click the Edit button.
4. Select the MAC Authentication button from within the Authentication field.
This enables the Radius button at the bottom of the Network > Wireless LANs > Edit screen.
5. Click the Config button next to the MAC Authentication option to open a dialogue where the format of
MAC Addresses can be configured.
The MAC Authentication Format setting determines the text format that MAC addresses are transmitted
when using MAC-Auth authentication
6. Select a format for MAC Addresses used in MAC Authentication:
• No delimiter: The 12 digit MAC Address is in a format with no spaces or delimeters.
• Colin delimiter: The 12 digit MAC Address is in a format separated by colons after every pair.
• Dash delimiter: The 12 digit MAC Address is in a format separated by dashes after every pair.
• Dot delimiter per four: The 12 digit MAC Address is in a format separated by periods after every four
digits.
NOTE: As part of the MAC Authentication process, ensure a primary and optional
secondary Radius Server have been properly configured to authenticate the users
requesting access to the ACL supported WLAN. For more information on configuring
Radius Server support for the MAC Authentication supported WLAN, see Configuring
External Radius Server Support on page 4-49.
