Aruba S1500 Mobility access switch - MAC address filtering

  • 1.  Aruba S1500 Mobility access switch - MAC address filtering

    Posted Aug 14, 2017 03:14 PM

    Hello folks,

     

    We have a couple of Aruba S1500 48 port Mobility access switches providing network access at our employee offices.  I am being tasked with "locking down" physical access to our network ports available in our cube offices so that when a device is plugged in, it will not communicate unless its MAC address is recognized.

     

    I see there is a default MAC address authentication type under Authentication\Profiles tab, but I not sure how to enable it and where to add trusted MACs.  Having trouble locating configuration guide...

     

    Anyone have a suggestion or link to configuration guide?

    Darn, no reply so far.

     

    Anyone at least know where I may obtain an administrator guide for this switch?

    Hey,

     

    Not sure if you have found the answers yet but Admin Guides can be found below:

     

    https://support.arubanetworks.com/Documentation/tabid/77/DMXModule/512/EntryId/5809/Default.aspx

     

    The guide details Port Security, Mac Auth and so on. You will need to specify a authentication source for the MAC's, whether this be an internal db, CPPM and so on. From here you can then apply a AAA profile to the port to auth the device when connected.
