250CHAPTER 11: USING AAA AND RADIUS COMMANDS

Parameter

interface interface-list:Ethernet interface list including several Ethernet interfaces, expressed in the format interface-list= { interface-num[ to interface-num] } & < 1-10 >. interface-numspecifies a single Ethernet interface in the format interface-num= { interface-typeinterface-numinterface-name}, where interface-typespecifies the interface type, interface-numspecifies the interface number and interface-namespecifies the interface name. For the respective meanings and value ranges, see the parameters in the Port Command chapter.

Description

Use the mac-authenticationcommand to enable the centralized MAC address authentication feature on a specified port or globally. Use the undo mac-authenticationcommand to disable the feature on a specified port or globally.

By default, the centralized MAC address authentication feature is disabled on each port and globally.

In System View, if the interface-listparameter is not specified, the centralized MAC address authentication feature is enabled globally; if the interface-listparameter is specified, the feature is enabled on the specified interfaces. In the Ethernet Port View, the interface-listparameter cannot be specified, and you can use the command only to enable the feature on the current interface.

Before or after the enabling of the centralized MAC address authentication, you can configure related parameters both globally or on the port through their respective commands. If the parameters are not configured before enabling this feature, then the parameters will be in their default state when it is enabled.

You must first enable the centralized MAC address authentication globally and then on the port to make the related configurations on the port effective.

Example

To enable the centralized MAC address authentication feature on port Ethernet 1/0/1, enter the following:

<4500>system-view
