Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)
Network Access authentication controls access to the network by authenticating
the MAC address of each host that attempts to connect to a switch port. Traffic
received from a specific MAC address is forwarded by the switch only if the source
MAC address is successfully authenticated by a central RADIUS server. While
authentication for a MAC address is in progress, all traffic is blocked until
authentication is completed. Once successfully authenticated, the RADIUS server
may optionally assign VLAN and QoS settings for the switch port.
network-access aging Use this command to enable aging for authenticated MAC addresses stored in the
secure MAC address table. Use the no form of this command to disable address
aging.
