Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure a global password to be used as the password (instead of the MAC address) for all sessions that use MAC RADIUS authentication. Use of a global password is supported on all three MAC RADIUS-based authentication protocols (̌eap-md5, eap-peap, pap).

Note:

When enabled (or disabled), currently active dot1x sessions are not affected. MAC RADIUS authentication will use the configured password from the time of reauthentication.

Default
