[NEBULA] MAC-based Authentication with Nebula Cloud Authentication

Jules

Hi,
I could not find a guide on how to setup MAC-based Authentication for our Wireless Access Points.
It looks like I should be able to set this up so devices should automatically connect to the Wi-Fi if I have added the MAC address to the cloud authentication in the organization?

Please can you let me know if you have a guide for setting this up?

Many thanks,
Jules

Hi @Jules

Your SSID's authentication must also have MAC-based authentication enabled.

AP > Configure > Authentication


MAC-based Authentication with Nebula cloud authentication allows clients whose MAC address is in the cloud authentication to connect to the SSID.

We will post a proper guide for MAC-based authentication on the forums to better support our users.

Best regards,
Barney Gregorio

Thanks Barney.
After trying a few different setups, I can see how it works now.  Only the authorised MAC addresses are allowed access.  Even if the device has the WPA2 Pre-shared key, it can only connect if the MAC address is on the list.
