Mac Address Bypass
-
Tuesday, August 12, 2008 10:54 PMDoes anyone know how to do NAP with MacAddresBypass feature of a switch for printers and other non-dot1x clients?
I set the command dot1x mac-address-bypass on the switch, and after it fails eap, I see it send to NPS the mac address as a user. Can I create a list of approved mac addresses?
If not, how do you allow printers to participate on a dot1x network?
