WLC web auth whitelisting (or .1x whitelisting)

[pablo1711]

In an effort to minimize the number of WLANs i have in operation I would like whitelist some machines probably based upon MAC address and/or IP Address from having to authenticate.

I currently operate 3 wireless networks - Captive Portal, PSK and .1x - .1x is my preferred secure network and due to the range of devices I have around I need to keep the captive portal (which only allows internet access anyway) but I see dropping the PSK network as key.  So I would like to be able to whitelist the machines on either of these networks.

Is this at all possible?.

For background information I am using ACS 4.2 connected to MS Active Directory.  Due to the uncontrolled nature of our userbase we do not have a database of the mac addresses for machines.  For the small number of machines I wish to whitelist I can manually add these mac addresses somewhere (but no into AD).  Currently using WLC code 7.0.98 and I have a mixture of 4404 (WISM) and 5508 appliances.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi,

We can do this.. here is the link to do the  same.. You can configure the MAC filtering on the WLC and assing the  same to the WLAN using the local Database..
