250 CHAPTER 11: USING AAA AND RADIUS COMMANDS
Parameter
interface interface-list: Ethernet interface list including several Ethernet
interfaces, expressed in the format
interface-list = { interface-num [ to
interface-num ] } & < 1-10 >
. interface-num specifies a single Ethernet
interface in the format
interface-num = { interface-type interface-num |
interface-name }
, where interface-type specifies the interface type,
interface-num specifies the interface number and interface-name specifies the
interface name. For the respective meanings and value ranges, see the parameters
in the Port Command chapter.
Description
Use the mac-authentication command to enable the centralized MAC address
authentication feature on a specified port or globally. Use the
undo
mac-authentication
command to disable the feature on a specified port or
globally.
By default, the centralized MAC address authentication feature is disabled on each
port and globally.
In System View, if the interface-list parameter is not specified, the centralized
MAC address authentication feature is enabled globally; if the
interface-list
parameter is specified, the feature is enabled on the specified interfaces. In the
Ethernet Port View, the
interface-list parameter cannot be specified, and you
can use the command only to enable the feature on the current interface.
Before or after the enabling of the centralized MAC address authentication, you
can configure related parameters both globally or on the port through their
respective commands. If the parameters are not configured before enabling this
feature, then the parameters will be in their default state when it is enabled.
You must first enable the centralized MAC address authentication globally and
then on the port to make the related configurations on the port effective.
Example
To enable the centralized MAC address authentication feature on port Ethernet
1/0/1, enter the following:
<4500>system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[4500]mac-authentication interface Ethernet 1/0/1
To enable the centralized MAC address authentication feature globally, enter the
following:
[4500]mac-authentication
mac-authentication
