Caution:
z
If both the limit on the number of MAC address authentication users and the limit on
the number of users configured in the port security function are configured for a port,
the smaller value of the two configured limits is adopted as the maximum number of
MAC address authentication users allowed to access this port. Refer to the
Port
Security manual
for the description on the port security function.
z
You cannot configure the maximum number of MAC address authentication users
for a port if any user connected to this port is online.

GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.
z
MAC address authentication is required on port GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 to control
user access to the Internet.

All users belong to domain aabbcc.net. The authentication performed is locally
and the MAC address of the PC (00-0d-88-f6-44-c1) is used as both the user
