D-Link Unified Access System User Manual
On the AAA/RADIUS tab, you can also configure a global list containing the MAC addresses
of wireless clients to allow or deny access to APs. The list only applies to profiles that use
local MAC Authentication, which is an SSID setting. MAC Authentication is disabled by
default. For information about enabling MAC Authentication, see “Configuring the Default
Network” on page 87.
If you select Allow as the default action, the wireless clients you add to the Allow MAC List
can connect to the AP, and all other wireless clients are denied. If you select Deny as the
default action, the wireless clients with the MAC addresses that you add to the Deny MAC list
cannot associate with the AP.
NOTE:The MAC list label updates depending on the default action you select.
Figure 35. MAC Access Control
To add a wireless client to the MAC Authentication list, enter the MAC address of the client in
the MAC Address field and click Add. You must click Submit to apply the changes.
The following table describes the MAC Authentication fields in more detail.
