interface-list: List of Ethernet ports. You can specify multiple Ethernet ports by providing this argument 

in the form of interface-list = { interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ] } 

&<1-10>, where &<1-10> means that you can provide up to 10 port indexes/port index ranges for this 

argument. 

Use the mac-authentication interface command to enable the MAC address authentication for on the 

specified port(s). 

Use the undo mac-authentication interface command to disable the MAC address authentication for 

the specified port(s). 

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

 

z 

This command is essential for MAC address authentication to work on a port or on particular ports 

after MAC address authentication is globally enabled. 

z 

You cannot configure the maximum number of dynamic MAC address entries for a port (through 

the  mac-address max-mac-count command) with MAC address authentication enabled. 

Likewise, you cannot enable the MAC address authentication feature on a port with a limit of 

dynamic MAC addresses configured. 

z 

If you have enabled MAC address authentication on a port, you cannot add the port to an 

aggregation group. If a port is already added to an aggregation group, you cannot enable MAC 

address authentication on the port.
