Controlling MAC address learning
autoLearn
•
A port in this mode can learn MAC addresses and allows frames from learned or configured MAC
addresses to pass. The automatically learned MAC addresses are secure MAC addresses. You
can also configure secure MAC addresses by using the port-security mac-address security
command. A secure MAC address never ages out by default.
When the number of secure MAC addresses reaches the upper limit, the port transitions to secure
mode.
The dynamic MAC address learning function in MAC address management is disabled on ports
operating in autoLearn mode, but you can configure MAC addresses by using the mac-address
dynamic and mac-address static commands.
secure
•
MAC address learning is disabled on a port in secure mode. You configure MAC addresses by
using the mac-address static and mac-address dynamic commands. For more information about
configuring MAC address table entries, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
A port in secure mode allows only frames sourced from secure MAC addresses and manually
configured MAC addresses to pass.
Performing 802.1X authentication
userLogin
•
A port in this mode performs 802.1X authentication and implements port-based access control.
The port can service multiple 802.1X users. Once an 802.1X user passes authentication on the
port, any subsequent 802.1X users can access the network through the port without
authentication.
userLoginSecure
•
A port in this mode performs 802.1X authentication and implements MAC-based access control.
The port services only one user passing 802.1X authentication.
userLoginSecureExt
•
This mode is similar to the userLoginSecure mode except that this mode supports multiple online
802.1X users.
• userLoginWithOUI
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.
Performing MAC authentication
macAddressWithRadius
A port in this mode performs MAC authentication and services multiple users.
Performing a combined MAC and 802.1X authentication
macAddressOrUserLoginSecure
•
This mode is the combination of the macAddressWithRadius and userLoginSecure modes.
For wired users, the port performs MAC authentication 30 seconds after receiving non-802.1X
frames and performs 802.1X authentication upon receiving 802.1X frames.
