SonicOS 7.1 Access Points
Table of Contents
ACL Enforcement
Each virtual access point can support an individual Access Control List (ACL) to provide more effective authentication control. The wireless ACL feature works in tandem with the wireless MAC Filter List currently available on SonicOS. Using the ACL Enforcement feature, users are able to enable or disable the MAC Filter List, set the Allow List, and set the Deny list.
Each VAP can have its own MAC Filter List settings or use the global settings. When the global settings are enabled, the SonicWave, SonicPoint-N/ SonicPointNDR/ SonicPoint Ni/Ne, the SonicPoint, or SonicPoint-N appliance uses these settings by default. In Virtual Access Point (VAP) mode, each VAP of this group shares the same MAC Filter List settings.
| Option | Description |
| Enable MAC Filter List | Enforces Access Control by allowing or denying traffic from specific devices. By default, this option is not selected and all options in this section are dimmed and unavailable. |
| Use Global ACL Settings |
Uses global ACL settings. ACL support per virtual access point is only supported by SonicPointN. If one virtual access point is used by SonicPoint/SonicWave, global ACL configuration is applied by default. |
| Allow List |
Select a MAC address group to automatically allow traffic from all devices with the MAC addresses listed in a particular group:
It is recommended that the Allow List be set to All MAC Addresses.
|
| Deny List |
Select a MAC address group from the drop-down menu to automatically deny traffic from all devices with MAC address in the group. The Deny List is enforced before the Allow List.
It is recommended that the Deny List be set to Default SonicPoint/SonicWave ACL Deny Group.
