Hi all,
I hope it is a good mailing list, and i will get answer to my problem:


I use 802.1x for user authentication, a still have configured a switch 
to AAA(radius),

I want to use mac address based authentication:

- I plug in my cabel,
- pc send auth(contains mac; and hostname, pass not important) to switch
- the switch get it and forward to my freeradius server like username: 
MAC, passwd: MAC.
- and my freeradius  allow  the  authentication, and this time not 
necessary username/pass, enough mac.

I find a config command like:

aaa port-access mac-based <Port range>

but it is only for HP devices.

what can i use for cisco?
finaly, how can i set up mac based authentication on cisco sw.

thx Gabor
