AUTH-MAC ENABLE

Syntax

auth-mac enable

Parameters

None

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to activate MAC address-based authentication on
authenticator ports. An authenticator port that uses this type of
authentication extracts the source MAC address from the initial frames
from a supplicant and automatically sends it as the supplicant’s username
and password to the authentication server. This authentication method
does not require 802.1x client software on supplicant nodes.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW AUTH-MAC INTERFACE” on page 1131

“SHOW DOT1X INTERFACE” on page 1136

Example

This example activates MAC address-based authentication on ports
1.0.15 and 1.0.18:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.15,port1.0.18
awplus(config-if)# auth-mac enable
