How to Configure Local MAC address based Authentication in WM3600 Cluster?

[Jitendra_Patel]

I have a Cluster of 02 WM3600 Controllers with SW version 5.4.

Need to implement MAC address based Local ( On Controller) authentication.

Requirement is for two type of users:

1. Employees

2. Guest

For Employee:

WLAN User should not be asked any password. Only a set of MAC IDs should be allowed to use the SSID. Users with other MAC IDs should not be allowed (restricted) to access the SSID.

For Guest:

WLAN User has to login a KEY/Password and get access. But SSID other than used for Employees.

Any one can guide on this?

Hi Jitendra,

I see the MAC authentication configuration seems to correct.

wlan TEST
description MAC based
ssid test
vlan 900
bridging-mode tunnel
encryption-type none
authentication-type mac
use aaa-policy NTPC-AAA\ Policy
!
aaa-policy NTPC-AAA\ Policy authentication server 1 onboard controller
!
radius-group NTPC-Radius-Group
!
radius-user-pool-policy NTPC-User\ pool
user 88708cd34ebd password 0 88708cd34ebd group NTPC-Radius-Group

Except the production SSID configured in "bridging-mode local" and the MAC authentication SSID configured in "bridging-mode tunnel".

wlan NTPC-GUEST description NTPC Employee WiFi user
ssid NTPC-TRANG
vlan 900
bridging-mode local
encryption-type tkip
authentication-type none
wpa-wpa2 psk 0 abcdefghijkl

Could you please confirm, what exactly not working? Does the client able to connect to the SSID?
Or its connecting and not getting IP address?

Hi Nathiya,
