OfficeExtend AP - AP specific MAC Filter

barmason — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 02:23:18 GMT

We have started to deploy OEAP's and the problem of multiple employees living withing close proximity to one another. Is there any way to apply AP-specific MAC filters in order to limit which hosts are allowed to join the remote AP as to not allow other employees use of another users ISP link? MAC filters in general appear to be WLAN specific. Thanks!

There is no way on WLC to do this I'm afraid.

However if you have a device like ACS, you can do access policies that check the calling station id (ap mac address), so you can define different authentication policies for each AP.

However with a high number of AP, I'm not sure this would be really practical ...

That's kinda what I was thinking too so many thanks for validating. And great suggestion on the ACS route; may give it a shot for specific users.

Thanks!
