Authentication and Access Control
-
802.1X MAC RADIUS authentication with global password (EX Series except EX4300 and QFX Series that support 802.1X authentication)—In earlier releases, you used the client's media access control (MAC) address as the username and the password for MAC RADIUS authentication. Starting in Junos OS Release 23.1R1, you can configure a global password for all the MAC RADIUS authentication sessions by using the
password password-string
configuration statement at the[edit protocols dot1x authenticator mac-radius]
hierarchy level.[See Configuring MAC RADIUS Authentication (CLI Procedure) and password (MAC RADIUS Authentication).]
