Dear Gents,

I want to know the possibility of limiting the number of users per AP. I
need the solution for both the case of Controller Based AP or Autonomous AP.
The only way I have found is through MAC authentication as in the following:

 Is there a way to limit the maximum number of client devices that can
connect to a single Autonomous Access point?

 *A. *The default behavior of a Cisco client device is that it connects to
the AP that has best signal strength available. But you can limit the
clients that can connect to any particular AP through MAC authentication.
You need to provide the MAC address of the client to the AP so that the AP
can allow only those clients and restrict all the other clients that are not
part of the allowed MAC address list from connecting to that particular AP.

Is there an option to do this limitation without configuring MAC addresses
authentication?

Your help is much appreciated
