Local MAC authentication configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 283, perform local MAC authentication on port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to control
Internet access.
• All users belong to the domain aabbcc.net.
• Local users use their MAC addresses as the username and password for MAC authentication. The
MAC addresses are hyphenated and in lower case.
• The access device detects whether a user has gone offline every 180 seconds. When a user fails
authentication, the device does not authenticate the user within 180 seconds.
