  • 1.  Allow Access to Instant Wireless Network by MAC Address

    Posted Jan 08, 2015 11:07 AM

    Hi

     

    My customer wants to only allow access to his Aruba Instant wireless network to devices authenticated by thier MAC address.  I have tried using various options with limited sucess.

     

    They are on the most current version of firmware

     

    Can anyone give me some direction on how to add a MAC Address to a list on the VC and only those devices can connect?

     

    Help is much appreciated! 

     

    David

    Thanks Tim, I'll give that a try.  Is it possible to blacklist clients on the wired side of the access points?

    Are you authenticating the wired ports or do you want to just prevent all access?

    Hi Tim

     

    Prevent all access.  The blocking of MAC on the wireless seems to work OK.  We just wanted to stop IP addresses being issued to devices that had the previously got hold of the wireless key.

     

    Thanks
