458CHAPTER 21: CONFIGURING AAA FOR NETWORK USERS

If the switch’s configuration does not contain a set authentication mac command that matches a non-802.1X client’s MAC address, MSS tries MAC authentication by default.

You can also glob MAC addresses. For example, the following command locally authenticates all MAC addresses that begin with the octets 01:01:02:

WX1200# set authentication mac ssid voice 01:01:02:* local success: change accepted

(For details about MAC address globs, see “MAC Address Globs” on page 31.)

You can add authorization attributes to authenticated MAC users with the following command:

set mac-usermac-addr attr attribute-name value

For example, to add the MAC user 00:01:02:03:04:05 to VLAN red:

WX1200# set mac-user 00:01:02:03:04:05 attr vlan-name red success: change accepted

To change the value of an authorization attribute, reenter the command with the new value. To clear an authorization attribute from a MAC user profile in the local database, use the following command:

clear mac-usermac-addr attr attribute-name

For example, the following command clears the VLAN assignment from

MAC user 01:0f:02:03:04:05:

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

(For a complete list of authorization attributes, see Table 43 on page 488.)
