How many clients are you planning on supporting this way?  MAC authentication can become a huge headache very fast when supporting a large number of clients.

And why WEP?  If you're going to use a security protocol that uses a key, why not at least do WPA-PSK?

Here's some documentation on MAC filtering...

Thanks,

I am thinking about Wpa-psk with Radius server authentication.

Is this is a good configuration .

If you want to use a radius, you should do WPA2/AES 802.1x. On many clients, that is also known as WPA2 Enterprise. Depending on what kind of radius server, you will find many "How To guides" on the Internet. WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is a pre shared key and doesn't require a radius server. If you end up wanting to do pre shared, I would suggest WPA2/AES-PSK.

Hi Scott,

I have an idea to configue WPA with radius authentication but i have a crazy manager that only want WEP with Mac authenticaion.

If you can help in it then i am very grateful to you.

i already try to configure with the help of configuration guide For cisco Aironet 1200 series but there is no sucess.

if you have any configuration Example please share with me.

WPA-PSK uses a preshared key which needs to be entered on all clients.  It's a step up from WEP... If you want to use radius authentication, you need to look into WPA/WPA2 Enterprise with PEAP authentication.  You'll need a trusted certificate installed on the clients and then use machine/user based authentication.

Hi Tony,

I read the configuration guide for cisco aironet 1200 but sorry to say that i  got no success to configure WEP with MAC authentication.

if you guide me how to confiure in GUI or Cli then it will be very grateful.

Are you running autonomous AP's or lightweight AP's(Wireless Lan Controller)?

the easiest way is to use an ACL 700

access-list 700 permit 0011.2233.4455

keep adding until all of your MAC addresses are in the list.  then:

dot11 association mac-list 700

This will stop any client not in the list from being able to associate to the AP.

Hi Stephen,

Is deny statement needed at last or by default it will only allow only permit mac address.

there is the implicit deny at at the end of all acl. So you don't need to put it in there.
