Command History
Usage Guidelines The command enables authenticated hosts to move between 802.1x-enabled ports on a switch. For
example, if there is a device between an authenticated host and port, and that host moves to another port,
the authentication session is deleted from the first port, and the host is reauthenticated on the new port.
If MAC move is disabled, and an authenticated host moves to another port, it is not reauthenticated, and
a violation error occurs.
MAC move is not supported on port-security enabled 802.1x ports. If MAC move is globally configured
on the switch and a port security-enabled host moves to an 802.1x-enabled port, a violation error occurs.
Examples This example shows how to enable MAC move on a switch:
Switch(config)# authentication mac-move permit
