MAC Address filter issue

MAC Address filter issue open original image

I have a Cisco Aironet 1100 access point that has been in use for 16 months now. I have a limited number of wireless connections using this AP so I decided to apply a MAC Address Filter to provide a measure of security.



This filter was set up quite some time ago using the website interface and has not been changed for at least 6 months.



I went to make a change to it yesterday and received the following error message:



"Filter 700 was configured on interface Dot1Radio0 using CLI. It must be cleared via CLI to ensure proper operation of the website interface".



I did not configure nything under CLI because I have only used the website interface for maintenance.



Can anyone tell me why I am getting this message and/or provide the subset of CLI commands that is needed to clear this configuration out... hopefully without loosing the MAC Address list that I have built?



Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Hi Junior,

Use the following syntax:

no access-list [list number]

This will disable the access-list (filter)

---------------------------

All IOS comands can be removed from configuration mode by preceeding the command syntax with 'no'

Hope this helps.

Hey Brad, thanks for the reply. I hate to sound like a total ditz but... how do you get into CLI mode? Is it a case of hooking directly into the AP via Ethernet cable and then somehow issuing a command to link into the OS?

I apologize for my lack of knowledge but it was easy enough to use the web interface to set the AP up. I didn't think I'd ever have to get to a command line interface to operate this sucker!

If you know, what do you suppose caused this issue? As I said, I don't even know how to get to the CLI, let alone use it to modify the access list.

Thanks, Herb
