If 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication fails, the client is assigned a deny-all role or mac-auth-only role.
MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. authentication only role—Allows you to create a mac-auth-only role to allow role-based access rules when MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. authentication is enabled for 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication. The mac-auth-only role is assigned to a client when the MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. authentication is successful and 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication fails. If 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication is successful, the mac-auth-only role is overwritten by the final role. The mac-auth-only role is primarily used for wired clients.
L2 authentication fall-through—Allows you to enable the l2-authentication-fallthrough mode. When this option is enabled, the 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication is allowed even if the MAC Media Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. authentication fails. If this option is disabled, 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication is not allowed. The l2-authentication-fallthrough mode is disabled by default.
