User Guidelines This command is used to enable MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) on an interface. MAB is a supplemental authentication mechanism that allows 802.1x unaware clients-such as printers, fax machines, and some IP phones, to authenticate to the network using the client MAC address as an identifier. However, MAB can also be used to authenticate 802.1x aware clients in some configurations. This command also provides options to specify the type of authentication to be used, which can be either EAP-MD5, PAP, CHAP. Authentication of a user via MAB will not occur until the re-authentication period timer expires. When using MAB, configure the format of the RADIUS UserName attribute sent in the RADIUS Access-Request using the mab request format command.
