Table 151 Advanced Configuration > MAC Auth LABEL DESCRIPTION Enable MAC Authentication Select this check box to permit MAC authentication on the OLT. Note: You must first enable MAC authentication on the OLT before configuring it on each port. Name Prefix 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. Password Timeout If you leave this field blank, then only the MAC address of the client is forwarded to the RADIUS server. Type the password the OLT 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 OLT allows a client MAC address that fails authentication to try and authenticate again. Maximum time is 3000 seconds. Apply Copy to... Port List Enable MAC Authentication Apply Copy to... Close 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. Click Apply to save the changes in this section.

Static MAC addresses do not age out. When you set up static MAC address rules, you are setting static MAC addresses for a port. Devices that match static MAC address rules on a port can only receive traffic on that port and cannot receive traffic on other ports. This may reduce unicast flooding. 300 NetAtlas EPON Manager User's Guide
