Performing MAC authentication
macAddressWithRadius: A port in this mode performs MAC authentication and services multiple users.
Performing a combination of MAC authentication and 802.1X authentication
• macAddressOrUserLoginSecure
This mode is the combination of the macAddressWithRadius and userLoginSecure modes.
For wired users, the port performs MAC authentication upon receiving non-802.1X frames and
performs 802.1X authentication upon receiving 802.1X frames.
• macAddressOrUserLoginSecureExt
This mode is similar to the macAddressOrUserLoginSecure mode except that a port in this mode
supports multiple 802.1X and MAC authentication users.
• macAddressElseUserLoginSecure
This mode is the combination of the macAddressWithRadius and userLoginSecure modes, with
MAC authentication having a higher priority as the Else keyword implies.
For wired users, the port performs MAC authentication upon receiving non-802.1X frames and
performs MAC authentication and then, if the authentication fails, 802.1X authentication upon
receiving 802.1X frames.
• macAddressElseUserLoginSecureExt
This mode is similar to the macAddressElseUserLoginSecure mode except that a port in this mode
supports multiple 802.1X and MAC authentication users as the keyword Ext implies.
NOTE:
n OUI, as defined by the IEEE, is the first 24 bits of the MAC address, which uniquely identifies a device
endor.
Working with guest VLAN and Auth-Fail VLAN
An 802.1X guest VLAN is the VLAN that a user is in before initiating authentication. An 802.1X Auth-Fail
VLAN or a MAC authentication guest VLAN is the VLAN that a user is in after failing authentication.
Support for the guest VLAN and Auth-Fail VLAN features varies with security modes.
• You can use the 802.1X guest VLAN and 802.1X Auth-Fail VLAN features together with port security
modes that support 802.1X authentication. For more information about the 802.1X guest VLAN and
Auth-Fail VLAN on a port that performs MAC-based access control, see "Configuring 802.1X."
• Y
ou can use the MAC authentication VLAN feature together with security modes that support MAC
authentication. For more information about the MAC authentication guest VLAN, see "Configuring
MA
C authentication."
• If you configure both an 802.1X Auth-Fail VLAN and a MAC authentication guest VLAN on a port
that performs MAC-based access control, the 802.1X Auth-Fail VLAN has a higher priority.
