69.1.2 MAC Authentication
MAC authentication works in a very similar way to IEEE 802.1x authentication. The main difference is that
the OLT 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 OLT along with a password configured
specifically for MAC authentication on the OLT.
Note: You also need to configure a RADIUS server (see
Section 69.6 on page
502).
