The configuration of LEPS-MAC involves the assignment of an individual passphrase to the MAC address of each client that is approved for the WLAN. This is done either with an entry in the list under (see Stations) or in the RADIUS server. One entry is generated per MAC address—from the point of view of the RADIUS server, the MAC address is therefore a user. It is also necessary to activate the MAC filter under , i.e. data will be transmitted for the WLAN clients entered here.
Important: The passphrase can be a string of 8 to 64 characters. We recommend that
the passphrases consist of a random string at least 32 characters long.
Note: If you are storing client-specific passphrases in the user table of a RADIUS
server, a LAN-based device can serve as the central RADIUS server and take advantage of
LEPS-MAC.
