248 CHAPTER 8: AAA COMMANDS
If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication
mac command, MSS applies them in the order in which they appear in
the command, with these results:
If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.
If the first method does not respond, MSS tries the second method, and so on.
However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSS
ignores any failed searches in the local WX database and sends an
authentication request to the RADIUS server group.
If the WX configuration contains a set authentication mac command
that matches the SSID the user is attempting to access and the user MAC
address, MSS uses the method specified by the command. Otherwise,
MSS uses local MAC authentication by default.
If the username does not match an authentication rule for the SSID the
user is attempting to access, MSS uses the fallthru authentication type
configured for the SSID, which can be last-resort, web (for WebAAA),
or none.
Examples — To use the local WX database to authenticate all users who
access the mycorp2 SSID by their MAC address, type the following
command:
WX4400# set authentication ssid mycorp2 mac ** local
success: change accepted.
