OL-12577-03
Documentation Updates
Updates to Software Configuration Guide
This section was added to the “Configuring IEEE 802.1x Authentication” chapter:
Web Authentication with Automatic MAC Check
You can use web authentication with automatic MAC check to authenticate a client that does not support
IEEE 802.1x or web browser functionality. This allows end hosts, such as printers, to automatically
authenticate by using the MAC address without any additional required configuration.
Web authentication with automatic MAC check only works in web authentication standalone mode. You
cannot use this if web authentication is configured as a fallback to IEEE 802.1x authentication.
The MAC address of the device must be configured in the Access Control Server (ACS) for the automatic
MAC check to succeed. The automatic MAC check allows managed devices, such as printers, to skip
web authentication.
Note The interoperability of web authentication (with automatic MAC check) and IEEE 802.1x MAC
authentication configured on different ports of the same switch is not supported.
