14.4.4 MAC Authentication Control
This global variable can be enabled or disabled using the set macauthentication command as
described in Section 14.3.3.3.
If enabled, then
• MAC authentication is active on those ports individually enabled using the set
macauthentication port command as described in Section 14.3.3.5.
• All session and statistic information is reset to defaults.
• Any MAC addresses currently locked to ports are unlocked.
If disabled, then
• MAC authentication stops for all ports.
• All active sessions are terminated.
• All ports currently authenticated using 802.1X, are unaffected.
• Any 802.1X ports, which were set to forced-unauth, revert back to discarding all frames
regardless of the MAC authentication state.
