Chapter 18 Port Authentication The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 51 Advanced Application > Port Authentication > MAC Authentication LABEL DESCRIPTION Active Select this check box to permit MAC authentication on the Switch. Name Prefix Password Timeout Note: You must first enable MAC authentication on the Switch before configuring it on each port. Type the prefix that is appended to all MAC addresses sent to the RADIUS server for authentication. You can enter up to 32 printable ASCII characters. If you leave this field blank, then only the MAC address of the client is forwarded to the RADIUS server. Type the password the Switch sends along with the MAC address of a client for authentication with the RADIUS server. You can enter up to 32 printable ASCII characters. Specify the amount of time before the Switch allows a client MAC address that fails authentication to try and authenticate again. Maximum time is 3000 seconds. When a client fails MAC authentication, its MAC address is learned by the MAC address table with a status of denied. The timeout period you specify here is the time the MAC address entry stays in the MAC address table until it is cleared. If you specify 0 for the timeout value, then this entry will not be deleted from the MAC address table. Note: If the Aging Time in the Switch Setup screen is set to a lower value, then it supersedes this setting. See Section 8.5 on page 89. Port This field displays a port number. * Use this row to make the setting the same for all ports. Use this row first and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis. Active Apply Cancel Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them. Select this checkbox to permit MAC authentication on this port. You must first allow MAC authentication on the Switch before configuring it on each port. Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring. Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. 164 ES3500 Series User's Guide
