MAC Address Authentication

Some devices connected to switch ports may not be able to support 802.1X authentication due to hardware or software limitations. This is often true for devices such as network printers, IP phones, and some wireless access points. The switch enables network access from these devices to be controlled by authenticating device MAC addresses with a central RADIUS server.

Note: MAC authentication, 802.1X, and port security cannot be configured together on the same port. Only one security mechanism can be applied.

The Network Access feature controls host access to the network by authenticating its MAC address on the connected switch port. Traffic received from a specific MAC
