interface's MAC address is unavailable, the interface uses the device's MAC address for 802.1X
client authentication.

Parameters
mac-address: Specifies a MAC address in the format of H-H-H, excluding multicast, all-zero, and
all-F MAC addresses. When entering a MAC address, you can omit the leading zeros in each H
section. For example, enter f-e2-1 for 000f-00e2-0001.
Usage guidelines
When the device acts as an 802.1X client and has multiple Ethernet interfaces to seek MACsec
protection, each interface requires a unique MAC address to pass 802.1X client authentication.
You can use either of the following methods to configure a unique MAC address for each 802.1X
client-enabled interface:
•
Execute the mac-address command in Ethernet interface view.
•
Execute the dot1x supplicant mac-address command.
For information about MACsec, see Security Configuration Guide.
Examples
# Configure the 802.1X client MAC address for 802.1X client authentication as 0001-0001-0001.
