Hi @Xstreem,

In the SDN version of Omada, you can enable MAC based authentication.  It's under Settings, Authentication, MAC based authentication

"MAC-Based Authentication allows or disallows clients access to wireless networks based on the MAC addresses of the clients. In this authentication method, the controller takes wireless clients’ MAC addresses as their usernames and passwords for authentication. The RADIUS server authenticates the MAC addresses against its database which stores the allowed MAC addresses. Clients can access the wireless networks configured with MAC-based authentication after passing authentication successfully."

Generally speaking, though, since it is very easy to spoof and clone MAC addresses this is not generally regarded as a useful/secure methodology.  That said, it does tend to prevent novice users out -- aka "keeping honest people honest"

It seems like a Radius server may be needed to host the list.  I thought there was a way to use a CSV or similar before.

@JSchnee21 thanks for reply, it's absurd you cannot simply enter a mac address with a format string like xA:xx:xx:xB. Aswell as it's absurd you cannot import an excel or text file with a list.

as said in another post it's ridiculous that complex things are implemented and basic first college things don't, also they are not considering that those stuff are becoming more and more popular in home appliance, where they can grow business a lot implementing better features

Hi @Xstreem,

I just posted this in another thread which you might find interesting:

FYI, I did find, in the Omada SDN interface, under the WLAN settings for each SSID you can BATCH import a whitelist or blacklist of MAC addresses. BUT, I do not believe it supports wild cards.

Settings => Wireless Networks => Edit SSID => Enable MAC Filter => Manage MAC Groups => Create a New Group => Batch Add

"Note:
1.Each MAC address and name should be entered on a new line. The MAC address and name should be separated by a space.
2.Octets in a MAC address should be separated by a hyphen. For example, AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF."

I'm not sure how easy it would be to update this to support wild cards.  Theoretically, it could with some firmware code modification (it's just a string compare) but I'm not sure how performant this would be under load.

@JSchnee21 thanks Jon i saw that, do you know if it is possible to get an alert and then email when a new mac address connect to the network?
