MAC filtering for Wireless LAN

furrynz
I have a 3COM 2000 access point - would like to enable a DMZ for my wireless lan with MAC filtering - does Astaro support this? I know Astaro can act as an Access point, but I already have the hardware (no need to duplicate)

Thanks

    When used as an Access Point, MAC Black-/Whitelists can be used. What you want to do is to use your Access Point, but connect the ASL between the Access Point and your LAN, right? In that case, the ASL can't do the filtering for you, because that is based on IP layer (and above). It would be possible on the command line, though ...

    Hi,

    thanks Andreas, so append to the FORWARD chain:
    e.g.
    iptables -A FORWARD -m state -state NEW -m mac -mac-source 00:C7:8F:72:14 -j ACCEPT ?

    (one for each wireless client MAC address)

    How would I save this to load on next restart?

    Thanks
    Herman
