MAC Filtering
You can control access to Professional Access Point based on Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
Based on how you set the filter, you can allow access by only client stations with a listed MAC address or
deny access by the stations listed.
The Professional Access Point maintains up to five MAC address lists to use as filters. One is the default
list, which is used by the Web User Interface. The other four are specific to the access point’s wireless
network interfaces.
•
Default MAC Address List
The default MAC address list is named "default". MAC filtering in the Web User Interface maintains
addresses in the default list.
•
Interface-Specific MAC Address Lists
Through the CLI, you can maintain a MAC address list for each of the Professional Access Point’s
wireless interfaces. Unless you initiate an interface’s list with the "set" command, the interface uses the
list named "default".

Note
You can use the "
get"
command to view current rate sets from the CLI as described in
and
“Get Basic Rate Set” on page 232
. However, cannot reconfigure Sup-
ported Rate Sets or Basic Rate Sets from the CLI. You must use the Advanced menu’s Radio page on
the Web User Interface to configure this feature.
Note
Before configuring this feature, make sure you are familiar with the names of the interfaces as
described in
“Understanding Interfaces as Presented in the CLI” on page 190
. The interface name you
reference in a command determines whether a setting applies to a wired or wireless interface or to the
Internal or Guest network.
