Release M.10.27 Enhancements
Notes:
■ The aaa port-access controlled-direction in command allows Wake-on-LAN traffic to be
transmitted on a MAC-authenticated outbound port that has not yet transitioned to
the authenticated state; the controlled-direction both setting prevents transmission of
outbound Wake-on-LAN traffic on a MAC-authenticated port until authentication
occurs.
The Wake-on-LAN feature is used by network administrators to remotely power on a
sleeping workstation (for example, during early morning hours to perform routine
maintenance operations, such as patch management and software updates)
■ Using the aaa port-access controlled-directions in command, you can enable the
transmission of Wake-on-LAN traffic on unauthenticated outbound ports that are
configured for any of the following port-based security features:
• 802.1X authentication
• MAC authentication
• Web authentication
Because a port can be configured for more than one type of authentication to protect the
switch from unauthorized access, the last setting you configure with the aaa port-access
controlled-directions command is applied to all authentication methods configured on the
switch.
For information about how to configure and use 802.1X authentication, refer to the
chapter titled “Configuring Port-Based and Client-Based Access Control (802.1X)” in the
Access Security Guide for your switch model.
■ When a MAC-authenticated port is configured with the controlled-directions in setting,
eavesdrop prevention is not supported on the port.
