the port.

Specifying a MAC authentication domain

By default, MAC authentication users are in the system default authentication domain. To implement
different access policies for users, you can use one of the following methods to specify authentication
domains for MAC authentication users:
Specify a global authentication domain in system view. This domain setting applies to all ports
•
enabled with MAC authentication.
• Specify an authentication domain for an individual port in Layer 2 Ethernet interface view.
MAC authentication chooses an authentication domain for users on a port in this order: the port-specific
domain, the global domain, and the default domain. For more information about authentication
domains, see
To specify an authentication domain for MAC authentication users:
