Configuring MAC-based VLAN for a dynamic host

Follow the steps given below to configure MAC-based VLAN for a dynamic host.
1. Enable multi-device port authentication globally using the following command.
2. Add each port on which you want MAC-based VLAN enabled as mac-vlan-permit for a specific
3. Enable MAC-based VLAN on the port.
4. Disable MAC-based VLAN on the port.
5. Remove and disable the MAC-based VLAN configuration.

Configuring dynamic MAC-based VLAN

To globally enable MAC-based VLAN globally (for all MAC-based VLAN ports), enter the following
commands.
PowerConnect(config)#mac-authentication enable
PowerConnect(config)#mac-authentication mac-vlan-dyn-activation
To configure Dynamic MAC-based VLAN to add a specific port to a specific VLAN, enter commands
similar to the following.
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 10
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10)#mac-vlan-permit e 0/1/35
Syntax: mac-vlan-permit ethernet <stack-unit/slotnum/portnum>
To disable Dynamic MAC-based VLAN, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#no mac-authentication mac-vlan-dyn-activation
NOTE
If static Mac-Based VLAN is configured on a port, the port will be added only to the VLAN table for
which the static MAC-based VLAN configuration exists.
NOTE
If the Dynamic MAC-based VLAN is enabled after any MAC-based VLAN sessions are established, all
sessions are flushed and the mac-vlan-permit ports are removed from the VLAN. The ports are then
added back to the VLAN dynamically after they successfully pass the RADIUS authentication
process.
