Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)
Network Access authentication controls access to the network by authenticating the
MAC address of each host that attempts to connect to a switch port. Traffic received
from a specific MAC address is forwarded by the switch only if the source MAC
address is successfully authenticated by a central RADIUS server. While
authentication for a MAC address is in progress, all traffic is blocked until
authentication is completed. On successful authentication, the RADIUS server may
optionally assign VLAN and QoS settings for the switch port.
network-access max-mac-count
Use this command to set the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be
authenticated on a port interface via all forms of authentication. Use the
