MAC-BASED ACCESS CONTROL COMMANDS
MAC-based Access Control (MAC) is a method to authenticate and authorizes a port/host network access right based on
the MAC address on which the user is located rather than user’s identification (e.g. user name and password).
MAC users need to complete authentication before accessing a network. Both local authentication and remote RADIUS
server authentication are supported. MAC user information in local databases or RADIUS server databases will be
searched for authentication, and following the authentication result, users will gain different types of authorization.
The MAC-based Access Control commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate
parameters) in the following table.
