802.1X | 173
In MAB-only authentication mode, a port authenticates using the host MAC address
even though 802.1xauthentication is enabled. If the MAB-only authentication fails,
the host is placed in the guest VLAN (if configured).
To disable MAB-only authentication on a port, enter the no dot1x auth-type
mab-only command.
