Configuring MAC Authentication

Purpose

Toreview,disable,enableandconfigureMACauthentication.Thisauthenticationmethodallows

thedevicetoauthenticatesourceMACaddressesinanexchangewithanauthenticationserver.

Theauthenticator(switch)sel ectsasourceMACseenonaMAC‐authenticationenabledportand

submitsittoabackendclientforauthentication.Thebackend

clientusestheMACaddressstored

password,ifrequired,ascredentialsforanauthenticationattempt.Ifaccepted,astring

representinganaccesspolicymaybereturned.Ifpresent,theswitchappliestheassociatedpolicy

rules.

YoucanspecifyamasktoapplytoMACaddresseswhenauthenticatingusersthroughaRADIUS



server(see“setmacauthenticationsignificant‐bits ”onpage 23‐31).Themostcommonuseof

significantbitmasksisforauthenticationofallMACaddressesforaspecificvendor.
