Under Type, select Local ACL or Radius ACL. Select the SSID that you want to add the ACL to. Select the access point that you want to add a MAC ACL to. If you have an Insight Pro account, select an organization. To set up a WiFi MAC access control list (ACL) in the Insight mobile app: If you do not have a RADIUS server, set up a local ACL instead. For more information, see How do I set up RADIUS servers for an Insight network location?. If you want to create a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) ACL, you must set up RADIUS servers for that network location. For more information, see How do I set up an Insight Managed Wireless Access Point in Insight?. For guest WiFi, we recommend using a Deny policy.īefore you can create an ACL, you must set up your access point and create an SSID. This is only practical for an internal network with a consistent user base. 
If you set up MAC access control with an Allow policy, you must manually add the MAC address of each new device to the ACL. Or, if you want to maintain strict network security, you can allow only devices with known MAC addresses to connect. A MAC access control list (ACL) lets you permit or deny WiFi access to individual devices based on their MAC addresses.įor example, if you notice a guest device that is using too much bandwidth, you can deny WiFi access to it without affecting other guest devices.
Almost all networked devices have a MAC address, including computers, switches, access points, smart phones, and storage systems. A media access control (MAC) address is a unique hardware identifier.
