MAC Filter Maxed?

[David Wolfe]

I tried adding a new MAC to my 2.4 ghz filter list today and got this:

I'm no where near the 64 client limit. This is under 386.1_2 and previously in 386.1.

 

[L&LD]

It isn't a client number limit. It is a storage limit.

It isn't a client number limit. It is a storage limiv

Where is this storage and how can I check it?

Presumably nvram (which is often severely limited). Many other "lists" can quickly consume nvram too (static leases, port forwards, policy rules for the VPN(s), etc.).

Just making a guess, I tried dumping all references to maclist in nvram. Perhaps that will reveal the problem (and how much nvram you have to spare).

nvram show | grep maclist

ok. I see a bunch of w##.#_maclist= values, some empty, some populated. How can I understand what I'm looking at?
