The static MAC list provides an authentication bypass mechanism for
clients connected to a port. The MAC address of the clients is first
checked in a local database which is a user specified static list of
MAC addresses and if a match is found, the client is assumed to be
successfully authenticated and the port is opened up for it.
No further authentication is done for that client.
The VLAN that the client should be moved to or the interfaces on which
the MAC address should be allowed from can also be optionally stored
in this table. This will enable devices like printers, which do not
support 802.1X, to be connected on 802.1X enabled ports. If a match is
not found in the static list, 802.1X or MAC authentication is initiated.
This table contains the static list of MAC addresses specified by the
user.
