(a) Configuring Authentication Ports

Points to note

Configure the port to be used for MAC-based authentication.

Command examples

  1. (config)# interface range gigabitethernet 1/0/3-4

    (config-if-range)# switchport mode mac-vlan

    (config-if-range)# mac-authentication port

    (config-if-range)# exit

    Configures MAC-based authentication at a port where a terminal will be authenticated.

(b) Configuring MAC Authorization

Points to note

Enable MAC-based authentication by using configuration commands.

Command examples

  1. (config)# mac-authentication system-auth-control

    Starts MAC-based authentication.

(2) Basic settings for RADIUS authentication method

The following figure shows the basic configuration required to use RADIUS authentication in dynamic VLAN mode.
