    AOS-CX Mac Authentication:

    MAC authentication grants access to a secure network by authenticating devices. When a device connects to the switch, either by direct link or through the network, the switch forwards the device MAC address to the RADIUS server for authentication.

    The RADIUS server uses the device MAC address as the user name and password, and grants or denies network access in the same way that it does for clients capable of interactive logons.

    The process does not use a client device configuration or a logon session. MAC authentication is well suited for clients not capable of providing interactive logons, such as telephones, printers, and wireless access points.

    Also, because most RADIUS servers allow for authentication to depend on the source switch and port through which the client connects to the network, you can use MAC authentication to lock a particular device to a specific switch and port.

    Note1: MAC authentication, MAC lockout, and port security are mutually exclusive on a given port.
    Note2: If you configure any of these authentication methods on a port, you must disable LACP on the port.
