Chapter 10 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Understanding IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Web Authentication with Automatic MAC Check
You can use web authentication with automatic MAC check to authenticate a client that does not support
IEEE 802.1x or web browser functionality. This allows end hosts, such as printers, to automatically
authenticate by using the MAC address without any additional required configuration.
Web authentication with automatic MAC check only works in web authentication standalone mode. You
cannot use this if web authentication is configured as a fallback to IEEE 802.1x authentication.
The MAC address of the device must be configured in the Access Control Server (ACS) for the automatic
MAC check to succeed. The automatic MAC check allows managed devices, such as printers, to skip
web authentication.
Note The interoperability of web authentication (with automatic MAC check) and IEEE 802.1x MAC
authentication configured on different ports of the same switch is not supported.
Local Web Authentication Banner
You can create a banner that will appear when you log into a switch by using web authentication.
The Banner appears on both the login page and the authentication-result pop-up page. The banner
appears in these authentication-result pop-up pages
• Authentication Successful
• Authentication Failed
• Authentication Expired
You create a banner by using the ip admission auth-proxy-banner http global configuration command.
The default banner Cisco Systems and Switch host-name Authentication appear on the Login Page. Cisco
System appears on the authentication result pop-up page, as shown in
Figure 10-6 .
