You can use the following commands to enable/disable the centralized MAC address

Perform the following configuration in System View or Ethernet Port View.

Table 430   Enabling/Disabling Centralized MAC Address Authentication 

You can configure the centralized MAC address authentication status on the ports 
first. However, the configuration does not function on each port until the feature has 
been enabled globally.

By default, the centralized MAC address authentication feature is disabled both on 
each port and globally.

Table 431 lists the operations to configure centralized MAC address authentication
