Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)

– 332 –

For example, if the attribute is “service-policy-in=p1;service-policy-

in=p2”, then the switch applies only the DiffServ profile “p1.”

Any unsupported profiles in the Filter-ID attribute are ignored.
For example, if the attribute is “map-ip-dscp=2:3;service-policy-

in=p1,” then the switch ignores the “map-ip-dscp” profile.

When authentication is successful, the dynamic QoS information may

not be passed from the RADIUS server due to one of the following

conditions (authentication result remains unchanged):

The Filter-ID attribute cannot be found to carry the user profile.

The Filter-ID attribute is empty.

The Filter-ID attribute format for dynamic QoS assignment is

unrecognizable (can not recognize the whole Filter-ID attribute).

Dynamic QoS assignment fails and the authentication result changes

from success to failure when the following conditions occur:

Illegal characters found in a profile value (for example, a non-digital

character in an 802.1p profile value).

Failure to configure the received profiles on the authenticated port.

When the last user logs off on a port with a dynamic QoS assignment,

the switch restores the original QoS configuration for the port.

When a user attempts to log into the network with a returned dynamic

QoS profile that is different from users already logged on to the same

port, the user is denied access.

While a port has an assigned dynamic QoS profile, any manual QoS

configuration changes only take effect after all users have logged off

the port.

MAC address authentication is configured on a per-port basis, however

there are two configurable parameters that apply globally to all ports on

the switch. Use the Security > Network Access (Configure Global) page to

configure MAC address authentication aging and reauthentication time.

These parameters are displayed:

Aging Status – Enables aging for authenticated MAC addresses stored

in the secure MAC address table. (Default: Disabled)
This parameter applies to authenticated MAC addresses configured by

the MAC Address Authentication process described in this section, as

well as to any secure MAC addresses authenticated by 802.1X,
