Configuring MAC Authentication

Configuring MAC Authentication

Purpose

To review, disable, enable and configure MAC authentication. This allows the device to
authenticate source MAC addresses in an exchange with an authentication server. The
authenticator (switch) selects a source MAC seen on a MAC‐authentication enabled port, and
submits it to a backend client for authentication. The backend client uses the MAC address stored
password, if required, as credentials for an authentication attempt. If accepted, a string
representing an access policy may be returned. If present, the switch applies the associated policy
rules. For an information on configuring policy classification, refer back to Chapter
