Configuration Prerequisites; Recommended Configuration Procedure; Configuring Mac Authentication Globally - HP 1920 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Series User Manual

If a user in the Auth-Fail VLAN passes MAC authentication, it is removed from the Auth-Fail VLAN and
can access all authorized network resources. If not, the user is still in the Auth-Fail VLAN.
A hybrid port is always assigned to an Auth-Fail VLAN as an untagged member. After the assignment,
do not re-configure the port as a tagged member in the VLAN.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure MAC authentication, complete the following tasks:
1. Configure an ISP domain and specify an AAA method. For more information, see
AAA."
For local authentication, you must also create local user accounts (including usernames and
passwords), and specify the lan-access service for local users.
For RADIUS authentication, make sure the device and the RADIUS server can reach each other,
and create user accounts on the RADIUS server. If you are using MAC-based accounts, make
sure the username and password for each account are the same as the MAC address of each
MAC authentication user.
2. Make sure the port security feature is disabled. For more information about port security, see
