NETWORK ACCESS (MAC ADDRESS AUTHENTICATION)
Some devices connected to switch ports may not be able to support 802.1X
authentication due to hardware or software limitations. This is often true
for devices such as network printers, IP phones, and some wireless access
points. The switch enables network access from these devices to be
controlled by authenticating device MAC addresses with a central RADIUS
server.

RADIUS authentication must be activated and configured properly
for the MAC Address authentication feature to work properly. (See
