    One of my cumstomer has very strange requirements, The customer has an SSID name "SMA-Wireless", Now the customer want to apply PSK + MAC based authentication on this same SSID. Is it possible to configure both PSK and mac based authentications on single SSID?  if possible please explain how? as far as i know we can  configure MAC base authentication with Captive portal. but i m not sure if we can configure multiple Layer-2 authentications on same ssid.

    It is possible to accomplish this by configure the aaa inital role to either authenticated or a deny if you want users to only have access  after the pass the mac authentication and the device should be place under the mac auth role

    Hi cfabian,

    Let me explain what i understand

    Step 1: Go to AAA profile and assign MAC authentication profile to it. The initial role of the AAA profile would be logon and MAC authentication default role will be authenticated.
    Step 2: Go to SSID profile and and assign PSK to it
