Description |
This article describes the limitations that the local radio of FortiWiFi-6xE/4xF/6xF has when configuring MAC address wildcard/MAC address range filters. |
Scope |
Currently, the local radio of FortiWiFi-6xE/4xF/6xF can support the MAC filter with a single mac address. The local radio of FortiWiFi-6xE/4xF/6xF can operate as an Access Point, but there are some limitations because of the chipset and driver of it. |
Solution |
A new feature came along with the FortiOS 7.0.0 GA release. A firewall address could be created as the MAC Address Type with Wildcard MAC addresses used as filters:
In the CLI, it is possible to configure it as follows:
config firewall address
Due to the limitations mentioned above, the following CLI configuration used to impose MAC filtering to manipulate the number of devices that can connect to a specific SSID created on the FortiWiFi device itself, will nottake any effect:
config firewall addrgrp
config wireless-controller vap
If the MAC filter feature with MAC address range or wildcard is required, it should be applied through the FortiAP. FortiAP 7.2.0 and FortiAP-W2 7.2.0 support this feature. |
