Web and MAC Authentication

Configuring Web Authentication

Syntax: aaa port-access <port-list > controlled-directions <both | in>

After you enable web-based authentication on specified

ports, you can use the aaa port-access controlled-direc-

tions command to configure how a port transmits

traffic before it successfully authenticates a client and

enters the authenticated state.

both (default): Incoming and outgoing traffic is

blocked on a port configured for web authentication

before authentication occurs.

in: Incoming traffic is blocked on a port configured for

web authentication before authentication occurs. Out-

going traffic with unknown destination addresses is

flooded on unauthenticated ports configured for web

authentication.

Prerequisites: As implemented in 802.1X authentica-

tion, the disabling of incoming traffic and transmis-

sion of outgoing traffic on a web-authenticated egress

port in an unauthenticated state (using the aaa port-

access controlled-directions in command) is supported

only if:

■ The 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

(MSTP) or 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

(RSTP) is enabled on the switch. MSTP and RSTP

improve resource utilization while maintaining a

loop-free network.

The port is configured as an edge port in the network

using the spanning-tree edge-port command.
