Configuring AAA for Network Users 427
Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
Configuring MAC Authentication and Authorization
The set authentication mac command defines the AAA methods by which MAC addresses can be used for authentica-
tion. You can configure authentication for users through the MAC addresses of their devices with the following
command:
set authentication mac {ssid ssid-name | wired} mac-addr-wildcard method1 [method2]
[method3] [method4]
MAC addresses can be authenticated by either the WSS switch’s local database or by a RADIUS server group. For
example, the following command sets the authentication for MAC address 01:01:02:03:04:05 when requesting SSID
voice, through the local database:
23x0# set authentication mac ssid voice 01:01:02:03:04:05 local
success: change accepted
If the switch’s configuration does not contain a set authentication mac command that matches a non-802.1X client’s
MAC address, WSS Software tries MAC authentication by default.
You can also wildcard MAC addresses. For example, the following command locally authenticates all MAC addresses
that begin with the octets 01:01:02:
23x0# set authentication mac ssid voice 01:01:02:* local
success: change accepted
(For details about MAC address wildcards, see “MAC Address Wildcards” on page 39.)
You can add authorization attributes to authenticated MAC users with the following command:
set mac-user mac-addr attr attribute-name value
For example, to add the MAC user 00:01:02:03:04:05 to VLAN red:
23x0# set mac-user 00:01:02:03:04:05 attr vlan-name red
success: change accepted
To change the value of an authorization attribute, reenter the command with the new value. To clear an authorization
attribute from a MAC user profile in the local database, use the following command:
clear mac-user mac-addr attr attribute-name
For example, the following command clears the VLAN assignment from MAC user 01:0f:02:03:04:05:
23x0# clear mac-user 01:0f:03:04:05:06 attr vlan-name
success: change accepted.
(For a complete list of authorization attributes, see Table 32 on page 446.)
