set macauthentication significant-bits
Use
this
command
to
set
the
number
of
significant
bits
of
the
MAC
address
to
use
for
authentication.
Syntax

Parameters

Mode

Usage
This
command
allows
you
to
specify
a
mask
to
apply
to
MAC
addresses
when
authenticating
users
through
a
RADIUS
server.
The
most
common
use
of
significant
bit
masks
is
for
authentication
of
all
MAC
addresses
for
a
specific
vendor.
On
switches
using
MAC
authentication,
the
MAC
address
of
a
user
attempting
to
log
in
is
sent
to
the
RADIUS
server
as
the
user
name.
If
access
is
denied,
and
if
a
significant
bit
mask
has
been
configured
(other
than
48)
with
this
command,
the
switch
will
apply
the
mask
and
resend
the
masked
address
to
the
RADIUS
server.
For
example,
if
a
user
with
MAC
address
of
00
‐
16
‐
CF
‐
12
‐
34
‐
56
is
denied
access,
and
a
32
bit
mask
has
been
configured,
the
switch
will
apply
the
mask
and
resend
a
MAC
address
of
00
‐
16
‐
CF
‐
12
‐
00
‐
00
to
the
RADIUS
server.
To
use
a
significant
bits
mask
for
authentication
of
devices
by
a
particular
vendor,
specify
a
24
‐
bit
mask,
to
mask
out
everything
except
the
vendor
portion
of
the
MAC
address.
Example
This
example
sets
the
MAC
authentication
significant
bits
mask
to
24.
G3(su)->set macauthentication significant-bits 24
clear macauthentication significant-bits
Use
this
command
to
reset
the
number
of
significant
bits
of
the
MAC
address
to
use
for
authentication
to
the
default
of
48.
Syntax
clear macauthentication significant-bits
number
Specifies
the
number
of
significant
bits
to
be
used
for
authentication.
