Fallback Policy with MAC Filtering and Web Authentication
You can configure a fallback policy mechanism that combines Layer 2 and Layer 3 security. In a scenario where you have both MAC filtering and web authentication implemented, when a client tries to connect to a WLAN using the MAC filter (RADIUS server), if the client fails the authentication, you can configure the authentication to fall back to web authentication. When a client passes the MAC filter authentication, the web authentication is skipped and the client is connected to the WLAN. With this feature, you can avoid disassociations based on only a MAC filter authentication failure.
Restrictions
-
MAC filtering does not support passthrough web-authentication. It supports only username and password for web-authentication.
Mobility is not supported for SSIDs with security type configured for Webauth on MAC filter failure.
