Description (Last modified by max-horvath)

If enabled by the network, will allow a device with a specific MAC adress to be considered "logged-in" without a login page, probably under a different bandwidth policy than full token authentication. This may require some changes on the gateway.

This feature has been implemented in the gateway, hasn't it?

So this feature request might be closed ...

No, the feature implemented in the gateway does not serve the 
same purpose.  This is meant, for example, for someone who 
has a WiFi phone and whant it whitelisted throughout the 
network.

Well, I like the idea as is ...

The most comfortable way would be if a registered user could enter say 2 or 3 MAC ids in his profile.

If whitelisting would be possible for the network administrator this could result too much work the more nodes and users a network gets ...

The only problem we have is, how to detect, if a user cheats. He could just enter the MAC id of his notebook and voila - he'd never see the login screen again ...

This is kinda though ...

One way around this would be to add device classes. A user for instance wouldn't just add a mac address but "a sip device mac address". Sip devices will only be allowed to use ports used by the sip protocol. And other devices their respective protocol ports.
