Quiet Mac Address; Configuring Basic Mac Address Authentication Functions - H3C S3100-52P Operation Manual

Operation Manual – MAC Address Authentication
H3C S3100-52P Ethernet switch

1.2.2 Quiet MAC Address

When a user fails MAC address authentication, the MAC address becomes a quiet
MAC address, which means that any packets from the MAC address will be discarded
simply by the switch until the quiet timer expires. This prevents an invalid user from
being authenticated repeatedly in a short time.
Caution:
If the quiet MAC is the same as the static MAC configured or an authentication-passed
MAC, then the quiet function is not effective.
