Table 126 Configuration items
Item Descri
Port Selects a port on which you want to enable MAC authentication.
Enable MAC VLAN
Specifies whether to enable MAC-based VLAN on the port.
IMPORTANT:
You can enable MAC authentication only on hybrid ports.
Auth-Fail VLAN
Specifies an existing VLAN as the MAC authentication Auth-Fail VLAN.
IMPORTANT:
• The MAC authentication Auth-Fail VLAN has a lower priority than the
802.1X guest VLAN on a port that performs MAC-based access
control. If a user fails both types of authentication, the access port
adds the user to the 802.1X guest VLAN. For more information about
802.1X guest VLANs, see "Configuring 802.1X."
• The MAC authentication Auth-Fail VLAN function has higher priority
than the quiet function of MAC authentication.
• The MAC authentication Auth-Fail VLAN function has higher priority
than the block MAC action, but it has lower priority than the shutdown
port action of the port intrusion protection feature. For more
information about port intrusion protection, see "Configuring port
se
curity."
