Radius based MAC auth on a j9001 wireless services module

Jaris Detroye — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 08:06:56 GMT

The data sheet for the wireless services module indicates that it support RADIUS-based MAC authentication.
I cannot find any reference to this in the users guide.
Can someone tell me if this feature really exists and how it's configured?

Hi

MAC authentication in the wireless edge service module is based on ACL filters.

I didn;t see also any reference to have MAC auth. based on the RADIUS.

Good Luck !!!

This is a direct quote from the Procurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module datasheet Page #3:

"RADIUS-based MAC authentication: a
wireless client is authenticated with a RADIUS server based on the MAC address of the client; this is useful for clients that have minimal or no user interface"

That looks to be a mistake unfortunately. This feature is not currently available, but I believe it will be in a future update.
