Syntax: show auth-mac-address detail

Displaying multi-device port authentication information for a specific 
MAC address or port

To display authentication information for a specific MAC address or port, enter a command such as 
the following.

Syntax: show auth-mac-address 

<mac-address>

 | 

<ip-address>

 | 

<slot>/<portnum>

The 

<ip-address>

 parameter lists the MAC address associated with the specified IP address.

The 

<slot>

/

<portnum>

 parameter lists the MAC addresses on the specified port.

The following table describes the information displayed by the show auth-mac-address command 
for a specified MAC address or port.

Port move-back VLAN

The VLAN that the port reverts to when the RADIUS-assigned dynamic 
VLAN expires. 

MAC Filter applied

Whether a MAC filter has been applied to this port to specify 
pre-authenticated MAC addresses.

MAC Table

The MAC addresses learned on the port. 

TABLE 146

Output from the show auth-mac-address 

<address>

 command

Displays...

MAC/IP Address

The MAC address for which information is displayed.  If the packet for 
which multi-device port authentication was performed also contained an 
IP address, then the IP address is displayed as well.

Port

The port on which the MAC address was learned.

VLAN

The VLAN to which the MAC address was assigned.

Access

Whether or not the MAC address was allowed or denied access into the 
network.

Age

The age of the MAC address entry in the authenticated MAC address list.
