Configuring Port Security mac-else-userlogin-secure-ext Mode
In mac-else-userlogin-secure-ext mode, a port first performs MAC
authentication of a user. If the authentication is successful, the user can access the
port; otherwise, the port performs 802.1x authentication of the user. In this mode,
there can be more than one authenticated user on a port.

Requirements
The host connects to the switch through the port Ethernet 1/0/1, and the switch
authenticates the host through the RADIUS server. After successful authentication,
the host is authorized to access the Internet.
On port Ethernet 1/0/1 of the switch, perform configurations to meet the
following requirements:
■Perform MAC authentication of users and then 802.1x authentication if MAC
authentication fails.
■Allow up to 64 802.1x authenticated users to get online. The total number of
802.1x authenticated users and MAC address authenticated users cannot
exceed 200.
■All users belong to the domain aabbcc.net, and each user uses the MAC
address of the host as the username and password for authentication.
■Enable NeedToKnow feature to prevent packets from being sent to unknown
destination MAC addresses.
