History
Usage
To change the value of an attribute, enter set mac-user attr with the new value. To delete an
attribute, use clear mac-user attr.
You can assign attributes to individual MAC users and to MAC user groups. If attributes are configured for a MAC user
and also for the group the MAC user is in, the attributes assigned to the individual MAC user take precedence for that
user. For example, if the start-date attribute configured for a MAC user is sooner than the start-date configured for the
MAC user group the user is in, the MAC user’s network access can begin as soon as the user start-date. The MAC user
does not need to wait for the MAC user group’s start date.
mac-addr MAC address of the user, in hexadecimal numbers separated by
colons (:). You can omit leading zeros.
attribute-name value Name and value of an attribute you are using to authorize the
MAC user for a particular service or session characteristic. For a
list of authorization attributes and values that you can assign to
local users, see Table 29 on page 198.
