Wireless MAC Authentication with WPA2-PSK in Juniper Mist – Is It Supported via Access Assurance?

  • 1.  Wireless MAC Authentication with WPA2-PSK in Juniper Mist – Is It Supported via Access Assurance?

    Posted Jun 19, 2025 11:37 AM

    Does Juniper Mist Access Assurance enforce policies on a WPA2‑PSK SSID when you try to use Wireless MAC Authentication (MAB)? I've found documentation for wired MAB, but nothing for the wireless case. While the MPSK‑based IoT workflow is well covered, we still need MAC filtering-either alongside PSK or MPSK. Has anyone successfully done this, or come across relevant docs? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey Madhan, 

    There is an option to use RADIUS based MAC lookup with external RADIUS server.  You will have to specify the RADIUS server information in the UI to use this option for MAB.

    Hi Madhan!

    Please help me understanding your use case. Why exactly are you using WPA2-PSK plus MAC Filtering? MAC Filtering is easily spoofable and it is not really MAB, because there is no "bypass" as in wired, only an additional filtering.
