Nortel Networks 2300 Series manual Set authentication proxy

200AAA Commands

Usage You can configure different authentication methods for different groups of MAC addresses by “wildcarding.” (For details, see “User Wildcards, MAC Address Wildcards, and VLAN Wildcards” on page 12.)

If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication mac command, WSS Software applies them in the order in which they appear in the command, with these results:

•If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.

•If the first method does not respond, WSS Software tries the second method, and so on.

•However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, WSS Software ignores any failed searches in the local WSS database and sends an authentication request to the RADIUS server group.

If the switch’s configuration contains a set authentication mac command that matches the SSID the user is attempting to access and the user’s MAC address, WSS Software uses the method specified by the command. Otherwise, WSS Software uses local MAC authentication by default.

If the username does not match an authentication rule for the SSID the user is attempting to access, WSS Software uses the fallthru authentication type configured for the SSID, which can be last-resort, web-portal(for Web-based AAA), or none.

Examples To use the local WSS database to authenticate all users who access the mycorp2 SSID by their MAC address, type the following command:

WSS# set authentication ssid mycorp2 mac ** local

success: change accepted.
