Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)
– 295
A port can only be assigned to the guest VLAN in case of failed authentication if
switchort mode is set to Hybrid. (See Adding Static Members to VLANs” on
page 155.)
Dynamic VLAN
– Enables dynamic VLAN assignment for an authenticated
port. When enabled, any VLAN identifiers returned by the RADIUS server
through the 802.1X authentication process are applied to the port, providing
the VLANs have already been created on the switch. (GVRP is not used to create
the VLANs.) (Default: Enabled)
The VLAN settings specified by the first authenticated MAC address are
implemented for a port. Other authenticated MAC addresses on the port must
have the same VLAN configuration, or they are treated as authentication
failures.
If dynamic VLAN assignment is enabled on a port and the RADIUS server
returns no VLAN configuration configuration (to the 802.1X authentication
process), the authentication is still treated as a success, and the host is assigned
to the default untagged VLAN.
When the dynamic VLAN assignment status is changed on a port, all
authenticated addresses mapped to that port are cleared from the secure MAC
address table.
Dynamic QoS
– Enables dynamic QoS assignment for an authenticated port.
(Default: Disabled)
MAC Filter ID
– Allows a MAC Filter to be assigned to the port. MAC addresses
or MAC address ranges present in a selected MAC Filter are exempt from
authentication on the specified port (as described under "Configuring a
MAC Address Filter"). (Range: 1-64; Default: None)
Web Interface
To configure MAC authentication on switch ports:
1.
Click Security, Network Access.
2.
Select Configure Interface from the Step list.
3.
Click the General button.
4.
Make any configuration changes required to enable address authentication on
a port, set the maximum number of secure addresses supported, the guest
VLAN to use when MAC Authentication or 802.1X Authentication fails, and the
dynamic VLAN and QoS assignments.
5.
Click Apply.
