Web and MAC Authentication

Configuring MAC Authentication on the Switch

Syntax: aaa port-access mac-based [e] < port-list> [addr-limit <1-2>]

Specifies the maximum number of authenticated

MACs to allow on the port. (Default: 1)

Syntax: [no] aaa port-access mac-based [e] < port-list> [addr-moves]

Allows client moves between the specified ports under MAC Auth control. When enabled, the switch allows addresses to move without requiring a re-authentica- tion. When disabled, the switch does not allow moves and when one does occur, the user will be forced to re- authenticate. At least two ports (from port(s) and to port(s)) must be specified.

Use the no form of the command to disable MAC address moves between ports under MAC Auth control. (Default: disabled – no moves allowed)

Syntax: aaa port-access mac-based [e] < port-list> [auth-vid <vid>] no aaa port-access mac-based [e] < port-list> [auth-vid]

Specifies the VLAN to use for an authorized client. The Radius server can override the value (accept-response includes a vid). If auth-vidis 0, no VLAN changes occur unless the RADIUS server supplies one.

Use the no form of the command to set the auth-vidto 0. (Default: 0).

Syntax: aaa port-access mac-based [e] < port-list> [logoff-period] <60-9999999>]

Specifies the period, in seconds, that the switch enforces for an implicit logoff. This parameter is equivalent to the MAC age interval in a traditional switch sense. If the switch does not see activity after a logoff-period interval, the client is returned to its pre- authentication state. (Default: 300 seconds)

Syntax: aaa port-access mac-based [e] < port-list> [max-requests <1-10>]

Specifies the number of authentication attempts that must time-out before authentication fails.

(Default: 2)
