AUTH MAC ENABLE

auth-mac enable

Overview This command enables MAC-based authentication on the interface specified in the
Interface command mode.
Use the no variant of this command to disable MAC-based authentication on an
interface.
Syntax
auth-mac enable
no auth-mac enable
Default MAC-Authentication is disabled by default.
Mode Interface Configuration for a static channel, a dynamic (LACP) channel group, or a
switch port.
Usage Enabling spanning-tree edgeport on ports after enabling MAC-based
authentication avoids unnecessary re-authentication when the port state changes,
which does not happen when spanning tree edgeport is enabled. Note that
re-authentication is correct behavior without spanning-tree edgeport enabled.
Applying switchport mode access on ports is also good practice to set the ports
to access mode with ingress filtering turned on, whenever ports for
MAC-Authentication are in a VLAN.
Examples To enable MAC-Authentication on interface port1.0.2 and enable spanning
tree edgeport to avoid unnecessary re-authentication, use the following
commands:
awplus#
awplus(config)#
awplus(config-if)#
awplus(config-if)#
awplus(config-if)#
To disable MAC-Authentication on interface port1.0.2, use the following
commands:
awplus#
awplus(config)#
awplus(config-if)#
