Configuring authentication and authorization by MAC
address
You must sometimes authenticate users based on the MAC addresses of their devices rather than a username-password
or certificate. For example, some Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) do not support
802.1X authentication. If a client does not support 802.1X, WSS Software attempts to perform MAC authentication for
the client instead. The WSS can discover the MAC address of the device from received frames and can use the MAC
address in place of a username for the client.
Users authorized by MAC address require a MAC authorization password if RADIUS authentication is desired. The
default well-known password is nortel.
Caution! Use this method with care. IEEE 802.11 frames can be forged and can result
in unauthorized network access if MAC authentication is employed.
