For wired users, the port performs 802.1X authentication upon receiving 802.1X frames, and
performs OUI check upon receiving non-802.1X frames.
NOTE:
An OUI is a 24-bit number that uniquely identifies a vendor, manufacturer, or organization. In MAC
addresses, the first three octets are the OUI.

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. It allows
one 802.1X authentication user and multiple MAC authentication users to log in.

performs 802.1X authentication upon receiving 802.1X frames.
•
macAddressOrUserLoginSecureExt
This mode is similar to the macAddressOrUserLoginSecure mode, except that 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. It allows one 802.1X
authentication user and multiple MAC authentication users to log in.
•
macAddressElseUserLoginSecureExt
This mode is similar to the macAddressElseUserLoginSecure mode except that this mode supports
multiple 802.1X and MAC authentication users as the keyword
Ext
implies.
