Enabling multi-device port authentication
To enable multi-device port authentication, you first enable the feature globally on the device. On
some Brocade devices, you can then enable the feature on individual interfaces.
Globally enabling multi-device port authentication
To globally enable multi-device port authentication on the device, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# mac-authentication enable
Syntax: [no] mac-authentication enable
Enabling multi-device port authentication on an interface
To enable multi-device port authentication on an individual interface, enter a command such as the
following.
Brocade(config)# mac-authentication enable ethernet 1/3/1
Syntax: [no] mac-authentication enable port | all
Specify the port variable in stack-unit/slotnum/portnum format.
The all option enables the feature on all interfaces at once.
You can enable the feature on an interface at the interface CONFIG level.
Example of enabling multi-device port authentication on an interface
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/3/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/3/1)# mac-authentication enable
Syntax: [no] mac-authentication enable
You can also configure multi-device port authentication commands on a range of interfaces.
Example of enabling multi-device port authentication on a range of interfaces
Brocade(config)# internet ethernet 1/3/1 to 1/3/5
Brocade(config-mif-1/3/1-1/3/5)# mac-authentication enable
