[Pranav Mhatre]

Hello Experts,

As in Airos we had the option to enter user mac for authentication in the security tab, Same option is available in 9800 or not?

if yes can you please share option from

Yes this is possible since earlier releases.

First configre your SSID with any security you want (Open, WPA-PSK, WPA-802.1X) and then add this piece of config for MAC filtering:

aaa attribute list <YOUR_LIST_HERE>
  attribute type ssid <YOUR_SSID_HERE>
aaa authorization network <YOUR_LIST_HERE> local
wlan <YOUR_WLAN_PROFILE_WHERE_TO_FILTER_BY_MAC>
  shut
  mac-filtering <YOUR_LIST_HERE>
  no shut
!
// now add the whitelisted MACs like standard usernames. Be advised this usernames cannot be added through GUI (at least before 17.3):
!
username 0021553f0672 mac aaa attribute list VOICENET-2-ALLOW

HTH
