Use the mac-authentication  command to enable MAC address authentication globally or on the 

current port. 

Use the undo mac-authentication command to disable MAC address authentication globally or on the 

current port. 

By default, MAC address authentication is disabled both globally and on a port. 

When being executed in system view, the mac-authentication command enables MAC address 

authentication globally. 

When being executed in Ethernet port view, the mac-authentication command enables MAC address 

authentication on the current port. 

To make the MAC address authentication take effect, you must enable MAC address authentication 

globally and on the relevant ports. 

 

You can configure MAC address authentication on a port before enabling it globally. However, the 

configuration will not take effect unless MAC address authentication is enabled globally.
