AUTH-MAC ENABLE
Syntax
auth-mac enable
Parameters
None
Mode
Port Interface mode
Description
Use this command to activate MAC address-based authentication on
authenticator ports. An authenticator port that uses this type of
authentication extracts the source MAC address from the initial frames
from a supplicant and automatically sends it as the supplicant’s username
and password to the authentication server. This authentication method
does not require 802.1x client software on supplicant nodes.
Confirmation Command
