Appendix B. Creating MAC ACLs Using the GUI and CLI
MAC ACLs allow tighter security in wireless networks by blocking unwanted computer or device
connections. The MAC ACL is a common filtering option, based on source MAC addresses, that only
allows specified devices to access the network. MAC ACLs are applicable to the NetVanta 160 Series
Wireless Access Point and any unit acting as an access controller. A MAC ACL can be created by entering
the MAC address for each computer or device that you want to allow access through either the CLI or GUI.
The CLI provides direct interaction with your unit through a text-based user interface, and the GUI
provides direct interaction with your unit through a Web-based user interface.
MAC ACLs are used as packet selectors by the wireless features. By themselves, the MAC
ACLs do nothing. AOS provides only standard MAC ACLs, that match based on the source
of the packet.
Creating a MAC ACL Using the GUI
To create a MAC ACL using the GUI, follow these steps:
If restrictions in your network prevent you from accessing the GUI, proceed to Creating a
MAC ACL Using the CLI on page 55.
1. Open a new page in your Web browser.
2.
Type your unit’s IP address in the browser’s address field in the http://<ip address> format.
3. At the prompt, enter your user name and password and select OK.
The IP address may also be entered in https:// if your unit has ip http secure-server
enabled.
