Table 52. Ad Hoc Client Status; Figure 65. Ad Hoc Clients - D-Link Unified Access System DWS-3000 Series User Manual

From the Monitoring > Client > Ad Hoc Clients page, you can view and manage wireless
clients that are connected to the WLAN through an ad hoc network.

Figure 65. Ad Hoc Clients

To delete the ad hoc client entries from the list, click Delete All. The status list is cleared on
the switch.
NOTE: Clearing the list does not disassociate any of the ad hoc clients, and the clients
might still be involved in the ad hoc network.
If you want to block an ad hoc client from WLAN access, select the check box next to the
MAC address of the client and click Deny MAC. The MAC address is added to the MAC
Deny List in the AP Profile MAC Authentication settings. If you select the check box and
click Allow MAC, the MAC address is added to the Allow MAC List in the AP Profile MAC
Authentication settings.
NOTE: The MAC address is added to the local MAC authentication list for all pro-
files where the global default action is set to allow (for deny MAC), or deny
(for allow MAC). If you use RADIUS for MAC authentication in one or more
AP profiles, you must add the MAC to the RADIUS database.
Each AP profile has one global MAC authentication list which is either a list to deny access to
all MAC addresses on the list or to allow access to all MAC addresses on the list. To se the
mode for the default AP Profile, click the Administration > Basic Setup > AAA/RADIUS
tab. Set the MAC Authentication Default Action field to Allow or Deny all MAC Addresses in
the list. To set the mode for a different AP profile go to the Global tab on the AP Profile to
configure.
The switch does not remove MAC entries from this list even when a client successfully
authenticates with an AP. The historical ad hoc data gives you more time to take action against
clients that establish ad hoc networks on the WLAN.
