Configuring a STA Blacklist Profile

Context

A STA blacklist profile contains MAC addresses of wireless terminals forbidden to connect to the WLAN. To forbid some STAs to connect to the WLAN, configure a STA blacklist profile and apply the STA blacklist profile to an AP system profile or a VAP profile.

The effective scope of the STA blacklist profile differs according to the profiles to which it is applied.
  • AP system profile: The STA blacklist profile takes effect based on the AP. APs using the AP system profile will use the STA blacklist profile. The STA blacklist profile takes effect on all STAs connected to the APs (all VAPs).
  • VAP profile: The STA blacklist profile takes effect based on the VAP. If the STA blacklist profile is applied to an AP, the STA blacklist profile applies only to STAs connected to the corresponding VAPs.

If the STA blacklist or whitelist profiles are configured in both an AP system profile and a VAP profile, a STA can connect to the WLAN only when it is permitted by both the configuration in the AP system profile and VAP profile.
