User Guidelines
IAS user accounts are distinct from user (administrator) accounts. IAS
accounts give access to network resources (via 802.1X or MAB), whereas user
accounts give administrative access to the switch.
Example
console#configure
console(config)#aaa ias-user username client-1
console(config-ias-user)#password client123
console(config-ias-user)#no password
The following is an example of adding a MAB Client to the IAS user database
with MAC address f81f.3ccc.b157. Be sure to enter the password in upper case
letters or authentication will fail with an “MD5 Validation Failure” as the
password hash does not match.
console#configure
console(config)#aaa ias-user username f81f3cccb157
