408 CHAPTER 21: 802.1X CONFIGURATION
Displaying and
Debugging Centralized
MAC Address
Authentication
After the above configuration, perform the
display command in any view, you can
view the centralized MAC address authentication running state and check the
configuration result. Perform the
debugging command in User View, you can debug
the centralized MAC address authentication.

Auto VLAN Auto VLAN uses three return list attributes to dynamically assign VLAN(s) to a port as
the user logs in.
Table 436 Auto VLAN
Before the VLAN is correctly received by the Switch 5500, you need to execute the
following command on the Switch 5500 to use standard private-group-ID:
[5500-xx]private-group-id mode standard
Configuration Example
of Centralized MAC
Address Authentication
How to enable centralized MAC address authentication both on a port and globally,
and how to configure a local user are shown as follows. For other configurations, see
“802.1x Configuration Example”.
The configurations of centralized MAC address authentication is similar to 802.1x,
their differences are:
1) Enabling centralized MAC address authentication both globally and on a port.
2) User name and password of the local authentication must be configured to the
MAC address of the user.
3) User name and password on the RADIUS server must be configured to the MAC
address of the user.
The following example shows how to enabling centralized MAC address
authentication both on a port and globally, and the way of configuring local user are
shown as follows. For other configurations, see
