MAC network access rules allow users onto the network by 
authenticating their MAC addresses instead of their user names. 

During log on, if the username does not match an 802.1X authentication 
rule, but the MAC address of the user’s NIC or Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone 
and the SSID (if wireless) do match a MAC authentication rule, MSS 
checks the RADIUS server group or local database for matching user 
information. If the MAC address (and password, if on a RADIUS server) 
matches, MSS grants access. Otherwise, MSS attempts the fallthru 
authentication type, which can be Web, Open Access (last-resort), or 
none.
