[Solved]Wireless Network - MAC-Filter - command line SETUP

[Fperuso]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know how can I add MAC-address in the file

/etc/config/wireless

I tried to do this throught the command line with "putty", but it not worked well.

Any tips? I don't want to use the Luci enviroment for this...

If you'd like to block an addy you'd add these lines to the iface of the radio -

option macfilter 'deny'
list maclist 'mac addy to block'

To only allow certain addy's just change deny to allow -

option macfilter 'allow'

If you just need to add an addy it would be this line in the iface -

option macaddr 'mac addy to add'

But I only edit the /etc/config/wireless file? Do I need to use mount_root to do this?

[mike]

Just edit the file, you don't need to use mount_root.

After this I will need to reboot?

[mike]

Try the wifi command first, if that doesn't re-associate everything then yes, reboot.

@mike

wifi

Thanks worked!

It's the same way if I need fixed DHCP clients ( Mac address zIP ) I will use the file /etc/config/dhcp... with this command?

config host
        option name 'VM_openwrt'
        option dns '1'
        option mac '00: : : : :87'
        option ip '192.X.X.'

[mike]

Yes, that's it.

So if you have a lot Mac-address and you would to config the allowed list in mass... The easy way ( like @mike showed ) is edit the file /etc/config/wireless adding this line after the Wifi config intended:

Exemplo of 5 of MAC-Address

       option macfilter 'allow'
       list maclist '60:  :  :  :  :CF'
       list maclist 'B0:  :  :  :  :BE'
       list maclist 'C4:  :  :  :  :E8'
       list maclist '24:  :  :  :  :05'
       list maclist '00:  :  :  :  :B3'

In the final the file will be like something this:

config wifi-iface 'wifinet0'
        option device 'radio0'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'Openwrt'
        option network 'lan'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option key 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
        option wpa_disable_eapol_key_retries '1'
        option macfilter 'allow'
        list maclist '60:  :  :  :  :CF'
        list maclist 'B0:  :  :  :  :BE'
        list maclist 'C4:  :  :  :  :E8'
        list maclist '24:  :  :  :  :05'
        list maclist '00:  :  :  :  :B3'

After this write the file and type:

wifi

or

reboot -f
