                     | mac-authentication | 
                     Enables MAC authentication on this WLAN and
                        configures related parameters | 
                  
                  
                     | cached-credentials | 
                     Uses cached credentials to skip RADIUS lookups.
                        This option is disabled by default. | 
                  
                  
                     | enforce-always | 
                     Enforces MAC authentication on this WLAN. When
                        enabled, MAC authentication is enforced, each time a client logs in, even
                        when the authentication type specified (using the authentication-type
                        command) is not MAC authentication. This option is disabled by
                        default. |

                        credentials to skip RADIUS lookups, or disables enforcement of MAC
                        authentication on this WLAN. |
