Configuration Procedure

n
The type of username and password of a local user must be consistent with
■
that used for MAC authentication.
All the letters in the MAC address to be used as the username and password of
■
a local user must be in lower case.
The service type of the local user must be configured as lan-access.
■
Follow these steps to configure MAC authentication:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable MAC
authentication globally
Enable MAC
authentication for
specified ports
Specify the ISP domain
for MAC authentication
Set the offline detect
timer
Set the quiet timer
Set the server timeout
timer
Configure the
username and
password for MAC
authentication
You can configure MAC authentication for various ports in advance. The
■
configuration, however, takes effect only after the global MAC authentication
is enabled.
You can neither add a MAC authentication enabled port into an aggregation
■
group, nor enable MAC authentication on a port added into an aggregation
group.
Support for the mac-authentication user-name-format command varies by
■
device.
Use the command...
