R0106-HP MSR Router Series Security Configuration Guide(V7)

This mode is similar to the userLoginSecure mode. The difference is that a port in this mode also
permits frames from one user whose MAC address contains a specific OUI.
{ For wired users, the port performs 802.1X authentication upon receiving 802.1X frames, and
performs OUI check upon receiving non-802.1X frames.
{ For wireless users, the port performs OUI check at first. If the OUI check fails, the port performs
802.1X authentication.
NOTE:
A
n OUI is a 24-bit number that uniquely identifies a vendor, manufacturer, or or
g
anization. In MAC
addresses, the first three octets are the OUI.
Performing MAC authentication
macAddressWithRadius: A port in this mode performs MAC authentication, and services multiple users.
Performing a combination of MAC authentication and 802.1X authentication
• macAddressOrUserLoginSecure.
This mode is the combination of the macAddressWithRadius and userLoginSecure modes. The
mode allows one 802.1X authentication user and multiple MAC authentication users to log in.
{ For wired users, the port performs MAC authentication upon receiving non-802.1X frames and
performs 802.1X authentication upon receiving 802.1X frames.
{ For wireless users, the port performs 802.1X authentication first. If 802.1X authentication fails,
MAC authentication is performed.
• macAddressOrUserLoginSecureExt.
This mode is similar to the macAddressOrUserLoginSecure mode, except that this mode supports
multiple 802.1X and MAC authentication users.
• macAddressElseUserLoginSecure.
This mode is the combination of the macAddressWithRadius and userLoginSecure modes, with
MAC authentication having a higher priority as the Else keyword implies. The mode allows one
802.1X authentication user and multiple MAC authentication users to log in.
For wireless users, the port performs MAC authentication upon receiving non-802.1X frames.
Upon receiving 802.1X frames, the port performs MAC authentication and then, if the
authentication fails, 802.1X authentication.
• macAddressElseUserLoginSecureExt.
This mode is similar to the macAddressElseUserLoginSecure mode except that this mode supports
multiple 802.1X and MAC authentication users as the keyword Ext implies.
Feature and hardware compatibility
The feature is available only on the following ports:
The ports on the HMIM-24GSW/24GSWP and HMIM-8GSW Layer 2 switching modules installed on
MSR routers.
