dot11 aaa authentication mac-authen filter-cache
dot11 aaa authentication mac-authen filter-cache
Use the dot11 aaa authentication mac-authen filter-cache global configuration command to enable
MAC authentication caching on the access point. MAC authentication caching reduces overhead because
the access point authenticates devices in its MAC-address cache without sending the request to your
authentication server. When a client device completes MAC authentication to your authentication server,
the access point adds the client’s MAC address to the cache.
