Wireless MAC authentication server

[ntalati]

Currently I am doing MAC auth in the AP but since the number of clients are increasing I would like to install a central MAC auth server. What choices I have OR is Cisco ACS the only option?

I'm looking for the same thing... I want to deploy a bunch of new Cisco AiroNet APs, but also have a considerable investment in Lucent/Agere/Wavelan AP-1000s that do RADIUS lookups for MAC addresses. I don't care about WEP key management... I just want to be able to use the same database (even if that means making a different view to format the MAC differently -- the wavelan wants it in xxxxxx-xxxxxx format) to authenticate MAC addresses from... Gave a quick look over documentation, but everything seems to be pushing towards the higher-level encryption/authentication stuff... Anyone out there done what I'm talking about?

Thanks,

-JDN

Wavelink Mobile Manager and Avalanche can handle MAC authentication for your ap's.
