302 CHAPTER 7: CONFIGURING AUTHENTICATION, AUTHORIZATION, AND ACCOUNTING PARAMETERS
■ MAC address users — These users are authenticated by a MAC
address. For example, devices such as PDAs or cellular phones that do
not support 802.1X authentication are identified when the WX switch
discovers the MAC addresses of these devices from received frames.
The MAC address is the username and is authenticated by the local
database. You can group these users by creating user groups. MAC
address users and user groups cannot be assigned administrative
access to the WX switch.
Creating Named
Users
When creating named users, you configure authentication properties.
You can optionally configure user attributes, which are stored in the local
database.
To configure user authentication properties
1 Access the WX Switch wizard for the switch. (See “Accessing the Modify
Switch Wizard” on page 185.)
2 Select AAA at the top of the wizard, if not already selected.
3 Select User from the organizer list on the left side of the page, if not
already selected.
