Except for the NAS-Port-Type service rule value (which is Ethernet for 802.1X Wired and Wireless 802.11 for 802.1X
Wireless), configuration for the rest of the tabs is similar to the 802.1X Wireless Service. See "802.1X Wireless" on
page 105 for details.

MAC Authentication
MAC-based authentication service, for clients without an 802.1X supplicant or a posture agent (printers, other
embedded devices, and computers owned by guests or contractors). The network access device sends a MAC
authentication request to Policy Manager. Policy Manager can look up the client in a white list or a black list,
authenticate and authorize the client against an external authentication/authorization source, and optionally perform an
audit on the client.
You cannot configure Posture for this type of service.

Service Tab
The Service tab includes basic information about the service including: Name, Description, and Service Type. When
adding a service, enter a Name and Description that will help you know what the service does without looking at its
details. The Service Type defines what can be configured.
Select the Monitor Mode check box to exclude enforcement.
Select any of the More Options check boxes to access that category of configuration options.
Service Rules define a set of criteria that supplicants must match to trigger the service. Some service templates have
one or more rules pre-defined. Click on a service rule to modify any of its options.
