Using ACS to authenticate mac addresses

jlhainy · ‎02-05-2007

I am wanting to use ACS 3.3 to be the authentication source for mac address authentication on a WLAN. All AP's are 1200's. Configuring the AP to look to to ACS box seems pretty straight forward. But how do you configure the ACS box. Do you just enter the mac address as the user name? What do you enter as the password?

You have to use the MAC address for both user id and password. This MAC address should be in the same format seen by the AP.

Please go to "MAC Authentication" portion of the following document for more information http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2086/products_configuration_example09186a00805e7a13.shtml
