Prerequisites
Configuration Procedure

CAUTION: For local authentication
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

You can configure MAC authentication for various ports in advance. The
■
configuration, however, takes effect only after the global MAC authentication
is enabled.
