Command Usage
◆ Authenticated MAC addresses are stored as dynamic entries in the switch’s
secure MAC address table and are removed when the aging time expires. The
address aging time is determined by the mac-address-table aging-time
command.
◆ This parameter applies to authenticated MAC addresses configured by the MAC
Address Authentication process described in this section, as well as to any

described under the dot1x operation-mode command).
◆ The maximum number of secure MAC addresses supported for the switch
system is 1024.
