MAC-Based Authentication

This section describes how to configure MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. -based authentication on the Mobility Master using the WebUI or the 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..

A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. -based authentication implicitly provides an additional layer of security to authenticate devices. MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. -based authentication is often used to authenticate and allow network access through certain devices while denying access to the rest. For example, if clients are allowed access to the network through station A, then one method of authenticating station A is MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. -based. Clients may be required to authenticate themselves using other methods depending on the network privileges required.

MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. -based authentication can also be used to authenticate Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. phones as an additional layer of security to prevent other devices from accessing the voice network using what is normally an insecure SSID Service Set Identifier. SSID is a name given to a WLAN and is used by the client to access a WLAN network..
