mac-authen max-user

Function

The mac-authen max-user command sets the maximum number of MAC address authentication users on an interface.

The undo mac-authen max-user command restores the default value of the maximum number of MAC address authentication users on an interface.

By default, the number of MAC address authentication users is the maximum number of MAC address authentication users supported by the device.

Format

In the system view:

mac-authen max-user user-number interface { interface-type interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] } &<1-10>

undo mac-authen max-user [ user-number ] interface { interface-type interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] } &<1-10>

In the interface view:

mac-authen max-user user-number

undo mac-authen max-user [ user-number ]

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To limit the number of MAC address authentication users on an interface, run the mac-authen max-user command. When the number of access users on an interface reaches the limit, the device will not trigger authentication for the users newly connected to the interface; therefore, these users cannot access the network.

Prerequisites

MAC address authentication has been enabled globally and on an interface using the mac-authen command.

Example

# Set the maximum number of MAC address authentication users on GE0/0/1 to 8 in the system view.

# Set the maximum number of MAC address authentication users on GE0/0/1 to 8 in the interface view.
