Basic configuration for MAC authentication

Before you perform basic configuration for MAC authentication, complete the following tasks:
•
Create and configure an authentication domain, also called "an ISP domain."
•
For local authentication, create local user accounts, and specify the lan-access service for the
accounts.
•
For RADIUS authentication, check that the device and the RADIUS server can reach each other,
and create user accounts on the RADIUS server.
If you are using MAC-based accounts, make sure the username and password for each account is
the same as the MAC address of the MAC authentication users.
