HPE FlexFabric 5940 SERIES User Manual

214
In this mode, the port performs 802.1X authentication first. By default, if 802.1X authentication
fails, MAC authentication is performed.
However, the port in this mode processes authentication differently when the following
conditions exist:
{ The port is enabled with parallel processing of MAC authentication and 802.1X
authentication.
{ The port is enabled with the 802.1X unicast trigger.
{ The port receives a packet from an unknown MAC address.
Under such conditions, the port sends a unicast EAP-Request/Identity packet to the MAC
address to initiate 802.1X authentication. After that, the port immediately processes MAC
authentication without waiting for the 802.1X authentication result.
• macAddressOrUserLoginSecureExt.
This mode is similar to the macAddressOrUserLoginSecure mode, except that this mode
supports multiple 802.1X and MAC authentication users.
• macAddressElseUserLoginSecure.
This mode is the combination of the macAddressWithRadius and userLoginSecure modes, with
MAC authentication having a higher priority as the Else keyword implies. The mode allows one
802.1X authentication user and multiple MAC authentication users to log in.
In this mode, the port performs MAC authentication upon receiving non-802.1X frames. Upon
receiving 802.1X frames, the port performs MAC authentication and then, if the authentication
fails, 802.1X authentication.
• macAddressElseUserLoginSecureExt.
This mode is similar to the macAddressElseUserLoginSecure mode except that this mode
supports multiple 802.1X and MAC authentication users as the Ext keyword implies.
