My intention is to buy an Aeronet 1200, which I believe will have much of this functionality built in. For the initial testing I'm using an old Lucent (Orinoco) access point that I had in my desk from the last time I played with 802.11b two years ago. Since I've long since lost the cable and documentation I haven't been very successful getting a console session to make any changes (if anybody knows the cable pinout and console settings, let me know). I can easily filter based on static IP addresses, but MAC addresses would be better because it would make it that much more difficult to hack.
By the way, even once I get the Areonet AP, the principle security tool is 128-bit WEP. The problem here is that WEP only offers encryption, not authentication or other security features; and It's already known to have been hacked - so the access list would still be nice as an extra layer of security. --- Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Logan, Harold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 12:32 PM To: Dennis Laganiere; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Mac Layer access list [7:48324] As others have pointed out, having your upstream router act as a bridge is your best bet. Out of curiosity, what brand of access point is involved? If you haven't yet, you may want to see if the vendor has an updated firmware available for download that includes the option for the AP to filter by source mac.
