Configuring Clients
You can create entries in the Mobility Conductor’s internal database to authenticate client MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. addresses. The internal database contains a list of clients along with the password and default role for each client. To configure entries in the internal database for MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. authentication, enter the username and password for each client.
The following procedure describes how to configure the clients:
- In the Mobility Conductor node, navigate to the tab.
- In the All Servers section, select Internal. The Server > Internal section is displayed below the All Servers section.
- In the tab, click to open the section.
- Click beside the and text boxes, for automatic username and password generation. Alternatively enter the username and password in the text boxes.
- Select a role from the Role drop-down list.
- Enter the email address in the text box.
- Select the check box to activate the user entry on creation.
- Select the expiration duration mode from the

- If you selected time, set the date (mm/dd/yyyy format) and time (hh:mm format) in the and boxes.
drop-down list. Expiration represents the maximum time duration that a guest account is valid for. - Click at the bottom of the page.
- Click at the top of the page.
- In the window, select the check box indicating the pending change and click .
The following CLI Command-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions. command configures the clients from the Mobility Conductor node:

Scaling Numbers for Mobility Controller Platforms
When a client (wired or wireless) terminates on a managed device, the MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. address of the client is added to the user table. When the client obtains the IP address and communicates with the managed device, the managed device creates an IP user for the client.
The maximum number of IP users allowed for a client or each MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. address (including IPv4 and IPv6 addresses) is 150% of the maximum MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. user for a given platform.
Ensure that the scaling number for IP users does not exceed 150% of the maximum MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. user for each platform. If the scaling number for IP users goes beyond 150% of the maximum MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. users, the managed device stops accepting IP users.
