Configures authentication and defines where it is performed for specified
non-802.1X users with network access through a media access control
(MAC) address.

Syntax

set authentication mac

{ssid ssid-name | wired} mac-addr-glob method1
[method2] [method3] [method4]

„

ssid

ssid-name

— SSID name to which this authentication rule

applies. To apply the rule to all SSIDs, type any.

„

wired

— Applies this authentication rule specifically to users

connected to a wired authentication port.

„

mac-addr-glob

— A single user or set of users with access via a MAC

address. Specify a MAC address, or use the wildcard (*) character to
specify a set of MAC addresses. (For details, see “MAC Address
Globs” on page 27.)

„

method1, method2, method3, method4

— At least one of up to four

methods that MSS uses to handle authentication. Specify one or more
of the following methods in priority order. MSS applies multiple
methods in the order you enter them.

A method can be one of the following:

„

local

— Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on

the WX switch for authentication.

„

server-group-name

— Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers

for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing
RADIUS server groups as methods.

For more information, see “Usage.”

Defaults — By default, authentication is deactivated for all MAC users,
which means MAC address authentication fails by default. When using
RADIUS for authentication, a MAC user’s MAC address is also used as the
authorization password for that user, and no global authorization
password is set.

Access — Enabled.

History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
