AUTHENTICATION AUTH-MAC
aaa authentication auth-mac
Overview This command enables MAC-based authentication globally and allows you to
enable an authentication method list (in this case, a list of RADIUS servers). It is
automatically applied to every interface running MAC-based authentication.
Use the no variant of this command to disable MAC-based authentication globally.
Syntax
aaa authentication auth-mac default group {<group-name>|radius}
no aaa authentication auth-mac default
Default MAC-based Port Authentication is disabled by default.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage There are two ways to define servers where RADIUS accounting messages are sent:
• group radius: use all RADIUS servers configured by radius-server host
command
• group <group-name>: use the specified RADIUS server group configured
with the aaa group server command
All configured RADIUS Servers are automatically members of the server group
radius. If a server is added to a named group <group-name>, it also remains a
member of the group radius.
Examples To enable MAC-based authentication globally for all RADIUS servers, and use all
available RADIUS servers, use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# aaa authentication auth-mac default group
radius
To disable MAC-based authentication, use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# no aaa authentication auth-mac default
