Configuring MAC Authentication Bypass with ACL Assignments
MAC authentication bypass(MAB)-enabled ports support ACL assignments similar to 802.1X-enabled
ports. For more information, see
“Configuring 802.1X with ACL Assignments” section on page 40-26
.
The ACLs must be predefined and committed on the switch. ACL mapping by MAB is a runtime
configuration and does not reflect in the NVRAM. The mapping is removed when the MAB static CAM
entry is removed or at reauth, if the RADIUS sends a different or no ACL to map.
Configuring MAC Authentication Bypass with QoS ACLs
MAC authentication bypass-enabled ports support ACLs sent by RADIUS and QoS policies-based
authentication similar to QoS policies on 802.1X-enabled ports. For more information, see
“Configuring
802.1X with QoS ACLs” section on page 40-29
.
When configuring MAB with QoS ACLs, follow these guidelines:
•
The QoS ACLs must be predefined and committed on the switch.
•
If more than one QoS ACL of the same attribute type (
invacl
,
outvacl
, or
inpacl
) is sent to the MAB
port, only the first ACL for an attribute type is configured.
•
The minimum acceptable reauthentication timeout for MAB has been reduced to 30 from 300
seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
•
Dynamically applied QoS ACLs cannot be removed using commands. They are automatically
removed when MAB initializes.
This example shows how to display the QoS ACLs information for a MAB-enabled port:
