Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
◆ Specified addresses are exempt from network access authentication.
◆ This command is different from configuring static addresses with the mac-
address-table static command in that it allows you configure a range of
addresses when using a mask, and then to assign these addresses to one or
more ports with the network-access port-mac-filter command.
◆ Up to 64 filter tables can be defined.
◆ There is no limitation on the number of entries that can entered in a filter table.
Example
Console(config)#network-access mac-filter 1 mac-address 11-22-33-44-55-66
Console(config)#
mac-authentication

command to restore the default value.
Syntax

seconds - The reauthentication time period. (Range: 120-1000000 seconds)

Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
◆ The reauthentication time is a global setting and applies to all ports.
◆ When the reauthentication time expires for a secure MAC address it is removed
by the switch from the secure MAC table, and the switch will only perform the
authentication process the next time it receives the MAC address packet.
Example
Console(config)#mac-authentication reauth-time 300
Console(config)#
