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.
