Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
In versions earlier than V200R009C00, MAC address authentication is enabled for roaming STAs. A STA connects to the network through MAC address authentication or MAC address-prioritized Portal authentication. If the STA roams, MAC address authentication is triggered after successful roaming. However, MAC address authentication may fail, and the STA enters the pre-connection state and no longer has the original access permission. To prevent this problem, the MAC address authentication is disabled for roaming STAs by default in V200R009C00 and later versions. You are not advised to retain the default configuration.
Precautions
Authorization for STAs in pre-connection users
Authorization for STAs that fail the authentication
Authorization for STAs if the authorization server goes Down
Authorization for STAs if the Portal server goes Down
