Security mode  Description  Feature 
macAddressElseUs
erLoginSecure 
In this mode, a port performs MAC 
authentication of an access user first. If the 
authentication succeeds, the user is 
authenticated. Otherwise, the port performs 
802.1x authentication of the user. 
In this mode, there can be only one 
802.1x-authenticated user on the port, but 
there can be several MAC-authenticated 
users. 
macAddressElseUs
erLoginSecureExt 
This mode is similar to the 
macAddressElseUserLoginSecure mode, 
except that there can be more than one 
802.1x-authenticated user on the port.  
macAddressAndUs
erLoginSecure 
In this mode, a port firstly performs MAC 
authentication for a user and then performs 
802.1x authentication for the user if the user 
passes MAC authentication. The user can 
access the network after passing the two 
authentications.  
In this mode, up to one user can access the 
network. 
macAddressAndUs
erLoginSecureExt 
This mode is similar to the 
macAddressAndUserLoginSecure mode, 
except that more than one user can access 
the network. 
 
 
z  When the port operates in the userlogin-withoui mode, Intrusion Protection will not be triggered 
even if the OUI address does not match. 
z  On a port operating in either the macAddressElseUserLoginSecure mode or the 
macAddressElseUserLoginSecureExt mode, Intrusion Protection is triggered only after both 
MAC-based authentication and 802.1x authentication on the same packet fail.
