Caution:
The configuration of the maximum number of learned MAC addresses (refer to the
mac-address max-mac-count command) is unavailable for the ports with centralized
MAC address authentication enabled. Similarly, the centralized MAC address
authentication is unavailable for the ports with the maximum number of learned MAC
addresses configured.
Centralized MAC address authentication for a port can be configured but does not take
effect before global centralized MAC address authentication is enabled. After global
centralized MAC address authentication is enabled, ports enabled with the centralized
MAC address authentication will perform the authentication immediately.
