Configuring MAC Authentication on the
Switch
This feature is available only on the Series 2600, 2600-PWR, and 2800
Switches.

Overview

1. If you have not already done so, configure a local username and password
pair on the switch.
2. If you plan to use multiple VLANs with MAC Authentication, ensure that
these VLANs are configured on the switch and that the appropriate port
assignments have been made.
3. Use the ping command in the switch console interface to ensure that the
switch can communicate with the RADIUS server you have configured to
support MAC-Auth on the switch.
4. Configure the switch with the correct IP address and encryption key to
access the RADIUS server.
