Manage 6 ap's with with one server

I currently have 6 1200 series ap's and I’m using MAC Authentication to allow connection to the Wireless. Everything is working fine but every time I need to enter in the MAC address for that client I have to add it on every AP. This is very time consuming so I’m wondering what I should use so I only have to enter in the MAC Address once. I’ve been told that I can use ACS but what I heard is it doesn’t allow MAC Authentication. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can manage all 6ap’s and only have to enter in the MAC Address once? Thanks in advance for your help.

ACS does do MAC authentication. Use the MAC as user and password (there is a specific format for entering the digits though).

You probably know this already, or have been told,BUT: MAC authentication is about the lowest, least secure form of authentication on the list.

It takes almost a full minute (for Windows, less for *nix) to break into a MAC auth system.

Good Luck
