Advanced Security
You can set up the access point to authenticate client devices using a combination
of MAC-based and EAP authentication, see
SSID Manger Page on page 116 .
When you enable this feature, client devices that associate to the access point
using 802.11 open authentication first attempt MAC authentication.
• If MAC authentication succeeds, the client device joins the network.
• If the client is also using EAP authentication, it attempts to authenticate
using EAP. If MAC authentication fails, the access point waits for the
client device to attempt EAP authentication.

Manager page. You can navigate to the Association page to verify that the preconfigured clients were associated and
authenticated.
