Wireless MAC Authentication - RADIUS

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi All,

I currently have a RB600A setup with a R52H and a nice high db gain omni antenna.

I am playing around with the RADIUS options for authentication.

Currently I have the DHCP server on the wlan1 device setup and working lovely with the user-manager database.

I have enabled the ‘wireless’ service for RADIUS, and on the default security-profile on the wireless options, as soon as I enable the ‘MAC Authentication’ option under the ‘RADIUS’ tab, the connected clients suddenly lose connection and are not able to connect till I disable ‘MAC Authentication’.

Is there a reason why this happens? The system log doesnt show any reported error.

Observing the Radius Server status, the number on ‘Resends’ jumps up while clients try to connect.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You need to add the mac addresses into your radcheck table in radius in the following format:

Username: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Attribute: Password
op: ==
Value:

This will allow the specified mac addresses to authenticate against your radius database and connect properly.
