Usage Information The prerequisites for enabling MAB-only authentication on a port are:
In MAB-only authentication mode, a port authenticates using the host MAC address
even though 802.1x authentication is enabled. If the MAB-only authentication fails, the
host is placed in the guest VLAN (if configured).
To disable MAB-only authentication on a port, enter the no dot1x auth-type mab-
only command.
Use this command in Interface Batch Mode to authenticate a device with MAB in a
dual-homing setup.
