To implement MAC filtering bypassed for specific captive portal SSIDs, follow these steps:
Step-by-Step Configuration:
- Configure SSIDs with Captive Portal and Nebula Cloud Authentication
- Go to Nebula > Configure > Access Points > SSID Settings.
- Enable Advanced Mode and click on Add SSID Network to create SSID A.
- Click the Edit button for SSID A and ensure the SSID is Enabled.
- Select Nebula Cloud Authentication under Network Access > Sign-in Method.
- Set the Strict Policy to Block all access until sign-on under Captive Portal Advanced Settings.
- Configure additional SSID settings as required.
- Set Up MAC Address Allowance Policies for Each SSID
- Go to Nebula > Clients.
- Click on Show Policy Clients on the right side and select Access Point Clients from the dropdown menu.
- Click Add Client to create an allowance policy for SSID A. Enter a name, add the MAC address, and set the policy to To Specific SSID with SSID A as Allowed.
- Repeat this process for all SSIDs and the corresponding MAC addresses as required.
Notes:
- Devices with random MAC addresses, such as iPhones or Android devices, need to have the correct MAC address configured for the policy to work as intended.
Expected Scenario:
- Devices with a specific allowance policy for SSID A will bypass the Captive Portal and gain direct access to the internet.
- Devices without a specific policy will be prompted with a Captive Portal and need to log in with a username and password to gain access.
