This is another windows laptop that I have.ĭown side of using GUI is that you can only add MAC addresses one by one. Let’s check whether the MAC filtering is working.Īs you can see, my test iPhone successfully joined the test Wi-Fi while another machine could not join. That’s how you configure MAC filtering via GUI.
To add MAC addresses that you want to allow to join your wireless network, Click New…įill out necessary information (MAC Address, Profile Name an Interface Name are mandatory) and click Apply. Select Cisco ACS for Radius Compatibility Mode and Colon for MAC Delimiter. Open Security > Layer 2 tab, tick MAC Filtering to enable this feature. Login to WLC, go to WLANs > and click WLAN that you want to configure. Here are the steps to configure MAC filtering.
Although it will give you sort of an extra layer security, this should not be the only security measure as it does not take much to compromise. MAC filtering is an extra layer security where WLC will check whether a wireless client’s MAC address is registered to WLC’s database before giving access. Today I am going to show you how to configure MAC filtering on WLC.
