Allied Telesis AT-WR4500 Network Router User Manual


 
46 AT-WR4500 Series - IEEE 802.11abgh Outdoor Wireless Routers
RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide
The association procedure is as follows: when a new client wants to associate to the AP that is configured
on interface wlanN, an entry with client's MAC address and interface wlanN is looked up sequentially
from top to bottom in the access-list. If such entry is found, action specified in the access list is
performed, else default-authentication and default-forwarding arguments of interface wlanN are
taken.
Property Description
ap-tx-limit (integer; default: 0) - limits data rate for this wireless client (in bps)
0 - no limits
authentication (yes | no; default: yes) - whether to accept or to reject this client when it tries to
connect
client-tx-limit (integer; default: 0) - limits this client's transmit data rate (in bps). Works only if the client
is also a RouterOS Router
0 - no limits
forwarding (yes | no; default: yes) - whether to forward the client's frames to other wireless clients
interface (name) - name of the respective interface
mac-address (MAC address) - MAC address of the client (can be 00:00:00:00:00:00 for any client)
private-algo (104bit-wep | 40bit-wep | none) - which encryption algorithm to use
private-key (text; default: "") - private key of the client. Used for private-algo
private-pre-shared-key (text) - private preshared key for that station (in case any of the PSK
authentication methods were used)
signal-range (integer) - signal strength range in dBm. Rule is matched, if the signal from AP is within this
range
time (time) - rule is only matched during the specified period of time
If you have default authentication action for the interface set to yes, you can disallow this node to
register at the AP's interface wlanN by setting authentication=no for it. Thus, all nodes except this one
will be able to register to the interface wlanN.
If you have default authentication action for the interface set to no, you can allow this node to register at
the AP's interface wlanN by setting authentication=yes for it. Thus, only the specified nodes will be able
to register to the interface wlanN.
Example
To allow authentication and forwarding for the client 00:01:24:70:3A:BB from the wlan1 interface using
WEP 40bit algorithm with the key 1234567890:
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface wireless access-list> add mac-address= \
\... 00:01:24:70:3A:BB interface=wlan1 private-algo=40bit-wep private-key=1234567890
[admin@AT-WR4562] interface wireless access-list> print
Flags: X - disabled
0 mac-address=00:01:24:70:3A:BB interface=wlan1 signal-range=-120.120
authentication=yes forwarding=yes ap-tx-limit=0 client-tx-limit=0
private-algo=40bit-wep private-key="1234567890" private-pre-shared-key=""
