Description
mac-else-userlogin-s
ecure
macAddressElseUse
rLoginSecure
This mode is the combination of the
macAddressWithRadius and userLoginSecure modes,
with MAC authentication having a higher priority.
•
A port in this mode performs MAC authentication 30
seconds after receiving a non-802.1X frame.
•
Upon receiving an 802.1X frame, the port performs
MAC authentication and then, if MAC authentication
fails, 802.1X authentication.
mac-else-userlogin-s
ecure-ext
macAddressElseUse
rLoginSecureExt
Similar to the macAddressElseUserLoginSecure mode
except that a port in this mode supports multiple 802.1X
and MAC authentication users.
secure
secure
In this mode, MAC address learning is disabled on the
port and you can configure MAC addresses by using the
mac-address static
and
mac-address dynamic
commands.
The port permits only frames sourced from secure MAC
addresses and MAC addresses you manually configured
by using the
mac-address static
and
mac-address
dynamic
commands.
userlogin
userLogin
In this mode, a port performs 802.1X authentication and
implements port-based access control.
If one 802.1X user passes authentication, all the other
802.1X users of the port can access the network without
authentication.
userlogin-secure
userLoginSecure
In this mode, a port performs 802.1X authentication and
implements MAC-based access control. It services only
one user passing 802.1X authentication.
userlogin-secure-ext
userLoginSecureExt
Similar to the userLoginSecure mode except that this
mode supports multiple online 802.1X users.
userlogin-secure-or-
mac
macAddressOrUserL
oginSecure
This mode is the combination of the userLoginSecure
and macAddressWithRadius modes. The port performs
MAC authentication upon 30 seconds after receiving
non-802.1X frames and performs 802.1X authentication
upon receiving 802.1X frames.
userlogin-secure-or-
mac-ext
macAddressOrUserL
oginSecureExt
Similar to the macAddressOrUserLoginSecure mode
except that a port in this mode supports multiple 802.1X
and MAC authentication users.
userlogin-withoui
userLoginWithOUI
Similar to the userLoginSecure mode. In addition, a port
in this mode also permits frames from a user whose MAC
address contains a specific OUI (organizationally unique
identifier). The port performs 802.1X authentication upon
receiving 802.1X frames, and performs OUI check upon
receiving non-802.1X frames.
Usage guidelines
To change the security mode of a port security enabled port, you must set the port in noRestrictions
mode first. When the port has online users, you cannot change port security mode.
IMPORTANT:
If you are configuring the autoLearn mode, first set port security's limit on the number of MAC
addresses by using the
port-security max-mac-count
command. You cannot change the setting
when the port is operating in autoLearn mode.
