Figure 12. Example of AAA Authentication Using Authorized for the Secondary Authentication Method
Specifying the MAC Address Format
The MAC address format command has been enhanced to allow upper-case letters to be used for the
hexadecimal numbers when indicating the MAC address in RADIUS packets for MAC-based authen-
tication.
For example, using the multi-colon-uppercase option, the MAC address would appear as follows:
AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
Syntax: aaa port-access mac-based addr-format <no-delimiter | single-dash | multi-dash | multi-colon |
no-delimiter-uppercase | single-dash-uppercase | multi-dash-uppercase |
multi-colon-uppercase>
Specifies the MAC address format to be used in the RADIUS request message.
This format must match the format used to store the MAC addresses in the
RADIUS server. (Default: no-delimiter)
no-delimiter — specifies an aabbccddeeff format.
single-dash — specifies an aabbcc-ddeeff format.
multi-dash — specifies an aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff format.
multi-colon — specifies an aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff format.
no-delimiter-uppercase — specifies an AABBCCDDEEFF format.
single-dash-uppercase — specifies an AABBCC-DDEEFF format
multi-dash-uppercase — specifies an AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF format
multi-colon-uppercase — specifies an AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF format.
