Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.3.
flap-on-disconnect introduced in Junos OS Release 9.4.
Description
Configure MAC RADIUS authentication for specific interfaces. MAC RADIUS authentication allows LAN access to permitted MAC addresses. When a new MAC address appears on an interface, the device consults the RADIUS server to check whether the MAC address is a permitted address. If the MAC address is configured on the RADIUS server, the device is allowed access to the LAN.
If MAC RADIUS is configured, the device first tries to get a response from the host for 802.1X authentication. If the host is unresponsive, the device attempts to authenticate using MAC RADIUS.
To restrict authentication to MAC RADIUS only, use the restrict option. In restrictive mode, all 802.1X packets are eliminated and the attached device on the interface is considered a nonresponsive host.
