Simple MAC filter

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

The network is the same as in previous topic. Can anyone give a simple example how to create MAC filter as it’s usually availiable in other APs. The idea is to allow to conect to this WDS network only certain NICs. I tried Wireless → Access Lists, but nothing happened.

2

Disable 'default-authentication, ‘default-athentication=no’.

3

Note that Connect list is used for WDS connection instead of Aaccess list.

uldis,

I have 2 AP , BOTH set as AP-Bridge and WDS,

would it be : AP-a
would have AP-b in Access List & Connect List and
AP-b
would have AP-a in Access List & Connect List

b’cos the need to connect to each other

or one way is enough

AP-a have AP-b in its Access List
AP-b will have AP-a in its Connect list

thanks

Ok found this post here by uldis

  1. If you have ‘default-authentication=no’, station checks connect-list. If there is not any suitable rule, station should not connect to any AP, until it would match connect-list entry.

  2. I have to clarify my above post about connect/access list.
    There are two options,
    a) AP1 - AP2 WDS connection;
    b) AP - station-WDS connection;

a) both AP1, AP2 use connect-list to establish WDS (access-list isn’t used at all).
b) AP uses acceess-list,
station-WDS uses connect-list in order to establish communications.
