MAC authentication configuration examples
Local MAC authentication configuration example
Network requirements
In the network in Figure 45, perform local MAC authentication on port GigabitEthernet 1/1 to control
Internet access.
• All users belong to domain aabbcc.net.
• Local users use their MAC address as the username and password for MAC authentication. The
MAC addresses are hyphen separated and in lower case.
• The access device detects whether a user has gone offline every 180 seconds. When a user fails
authentication, the device does not authenticate the user within 180 seconds.
