Configuring MAC Move
MAC move allows an authenticated host to move from one switch port to another.
Note You should remove port security before configuring MAC move.
To globally enable MAC move on the switch, perform this task:
This example shows how to globally enable MAC move on a switch:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# authentication mac-move permit
The following syslog messages displays when MAC-move happens:
%AUTHMGR-5-SECUREMACMOVE: <mac-addr> moved from <interface-name> to <interface-name>
Configuring MAC Replace
MAC replace allows new users to connect to abandoned ports.
If a user disconnects but the switch has not received the EAPoL-Logoff, the session will remain up. For
single or multiple- domain modes, no new hosts can connect to that port. If a new host tries to connect,
a violation is triggered on the port. Where the violation action is configured as replace, the desired
behavior is for the NAD (switch) to terminate the initial session and reset the authentication sequence
based on the new MAC.
To enable MAC replace on a switch, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1 Switch# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 Switch(config)# authentication
mac-move permit Enable MAC move globally.
Step 3 Switch(config-if)# end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 Switch# show run Verifies your entries.
Step 5 Switch # copy running-config
startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Switch# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 Switch(config)# interface
