18.1.3 MAC Authentication

MAC authentication works in a very similar way to IEEE 802.1x authentication. The main difference is that

the Switch does not prompt the client for login credentials. The login credentials are based on the

source MAC address of the client connecting to a port on the Switch along with a password configured

specifically for MAC authentication on the Switch.
