DESCRIPTION
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The
Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
DESCRIPTION
Select this check box to permit MAC authentication on the Switch.
Note: You must first enable MAC authentication on the Switch
before configuring it on each port.
Type the prefix that is appended to all MAC addresses sent to the
RADIUS server for authentication. You can enter up to 32 printable ASCII
characters.
If you leave this field blank, then only the MAC address of the client is
forwarded to the RADIUS server.
