Configuring Authentication and Authorization by MAC Address 457

For example, type the following command to add MAC user 01:0f:03:04:05:06 to group macfans:

WX1200# set mac-user 01:0f:03:04:05:06 group macfans success: change accepted.

Clearing MAC Users and Groups

To clear a MAC user from a user group, use the following command:

clear mac-user mac-addrgroup

For example, the following command removes MAC user 01:0f:03:04:05:06 from group macfans:

WX1200# clear mac-user 01:0f:03:04:05:06 group success: change accepted.

The clear mac-usergroupcommand removes the group.

To remove a MAC user profile from the local database on the WX switch, type the following command:

clear mac-user mac-address

For example, the following command removes MAC user 01:0f:03:04:05:06 from the local database:

WX1200# clear mac-user 01:0f:03:04:05:06 success: change accepted.

Configuring MAC The set authentication mac command defines the AAA methods by Authentication and which MAC addresses can be used for authentication. You can configure

Authorization authentication for users through the MAC addresses of their devices with the following command:

set authentication mac {ssid ssid-namewired} mac-addr-glob method1 [method2] [method3] [method4]

MAC addresses can be authenticated by either the WX local database or by a RADIUS server group. For example, the following command sets the authentication for MAC address 01:01:02:03:04:05 when requesting SSID voice, via the local database:

WX1200# set authentication mac ssid voice 01:01:02:03:04:05 local

success: change accepted
