treyco Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I am trying to put a wireless speaker point on to my wireless network. I'm running Cisco Aironet 1130AG's using WPA-2. I'm well aware of the fact that the speakerpoints do not support this, although I can not figure out why a software update relesease just last month would not support it. So my question is this. Can I get these devices on the network using MAC authentication? If so, where do I get the MAC address of the wireless port in the speakerpoint. I am assuming like most other devices, it is different from the wired port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 1130 web interface, look at the tab that lists clients, the MAC address is there, add it the MAC authentication page. Enable the MAC ACL on the 1130 and you're done.And I would strongly suggest you firewall all your C4 gear that uses WEP, it's a easy way into your network.

treyco Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 The problem is that on the 1130, when I turn on WEP, it requires that I turn off WPA. This isn't an option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't an option for me.ok, since you're already running WPA on the 1130, how are you planning to add the speakerpoint then? How's MAC authentication going to help? (What am I missing?)On the 1130s you can have as many SSIDs as you want but only one authentication method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 You’ll need to either run wep on this access point or the other, unfortunately at this time that’s the only encryption control4 supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
