Syntax: [no] mac-authentication disable-aging
Configuring the maximum MAC addresses per port
To configure the maximum number of MAC addresses allowed per port, use the following
commands:
PowerConnect(config)#interface e 0/1/1
PowerConnect(config-if-e1000-0/1/1)#mac-authentication mac-vlan
max-mac-entries 24
NOTE
32 MAC addresses maximum are allowed per port. This total includes both static and dynamic hosts.
The default number of allowed MACs is 2.
NOTE
To change the maximum MAC addresses per port, you must first disable MAC-based VLAN on that
port.
Configuring a MAC-based VLAN for a static host
Follow the steps given below to configure a MAC-based VLAN for a static host.
1. Enable multi-device port authentication globally using the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#mac-authentication enable
2. Add each port on which you want MAC-based VLAN enabled as mac-vlan-permit for a specific
VLAN.
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 10 by port
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10)#mac-vlan-permit ethernet 0/1/1 to 0/1/6
added mac-vlan-permit ports ethe 0/1/1 to 0/1/6 to port-vlan 10.
3. Add the static MAC-based VLAN configuration on the port.
PowerConnect(config)#interface e 0/1/1
PowerConnect(config-if-e1000-0/1/1)#mac-authentication mac-vlan
0000.0010.0011 vlan 10 priority 5
4. To enable MAC-based VLAN on the port.
PowerConnect(config)#interface e 0/1/1
PowerConnect(config-if-e1000-0/1/1)#mac-authentication mac-vlan enable
5. To disable MAC-based VLAN on the port.
PowerConnect(config)#interface e 0/1/1
PowerConnect(interface-0/1/1)#mac-auth mac-vlan disable
6. To remove and disable the MAC-based VLAN configuration.
PowerConnect(config)#interface e 0/1/1
PowerConnect(config-if-e1000-0/1/1)#no mac-auth mac-vlan
