Configuring Maximum Local Database Entries

Maximum Local Database Entries

You can configure the controller to specify the maximum number of local database entries that are used for storing user authentication information. The database entries include local management users (including lobby ambassadors), local network users (including guest users), MAC filter entries, exclusion list entries, and access point authorization list entries. Together they cannot exceed the configured maximum value.
