mac-auth

interface-config-ge-instance

Enables authentication of MAC addresses on the selected wired port. When enabled, this feature authenticates the MAC address of a device, connecting to this interface, with a RADIUS server. When successfully authenticated, packets from the source are processed. Since only one MAC address is supported per wired port, packets from all other sources are dropped.

For more information on enabling this feature, see mac-auth.

Enable port MAC authentication in conjunction with Wired 802.1x settings to configure a MAC authentication AAA policy.

This option is also available in the device configuration mode.

Supported on the following devices:
