Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• MAC Authentication
• Status – Enables MAC authentication on a port. (Default: Disabled)
• Intrusion – Sets the port response to a host MAC authentication failure to either block
access to the port or to pass traffic through. (Options: Block, Pass; Default: Block)
• Max MAC Count 17 – Sets the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be
authenticated on a port via MAC authentication; that is, the Network Access process
described in this section. (Range: 1-1024; Default: 1024)
• Network Access Max MAC Count
17
– Sets the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be
authenticated on a port interface via all forms of authentication (including Network Access and
IEEE 802.1X). (Range: 1-2048; Default: 1024)
• Guest VLAN – Specifies the VLAN to be assigned to the port when 802.1X Authentication fails.
(Range: 0-4093, where 0 means disabled; Default: Disabled)
17. The maximum number of MAC addresses per port is 1024, and the maximum number of secure MAC
addresses supported for the switch system is 1024. When the limit is reached, all new MAC addresses are
treated as authentication failures.
