MAC address users—These users are authenticated by a MAC
address. For example, devices such as PDAs or cellular phones that do
not support 802.1X authentication are identified when the WX switch
discovers the MAC addresses of these devices from received frames.
The MAC address is the username and is authenticated by the local
database. You can group these users by creating user groups. MAC
address users and user groups cannot be assigned administrative
access to the WX switch.
To create a user group and named Guest users:
1 Expand the WX switch icon in the Organizer panel, right-click on
AAA > Edit. Click Local User Database.
The Modify Local Database User wizard is displayed.
2 Click User Group. Enter the Name for the user group. Click New.
Also specify the VLAN name, unless the group is for WebAAA users.
If the group is for WebAAA users, do not specify the VLAN name. The
VLAN name is instead associated with the special web-portal user that
MSS creates for WebAAA assigns the VLAN. Setting the VLAN for an
individual WebAAA user or user group has no effect.
The Create User Group wizard is displayed.
