Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to authenticate clients using the shared method, with optional MAC address or EAP
screenings. You define list names for MAC addresses and EAP using the aaa authentication login
command. These lists define the authentication methods activated when a user logs in and indirectly
identify the location where the authentication information is stored.
Examples This example shows how to set the authentication to shared for devices on a MAC address list:
AP(config-if-ssid)# authentication shared mac-address mac-list1
This example shows how to reset the authentication to default values:
AP(config-if-ssid)# no authentication shared
