For example, have a list of allowed MAC addresses configured on ACS which is used to authenticate wired clients on the network? </P><P>OR... Can you recommend how we can do this if ACS can't, and have a single â&#128;&#156;allowed MAC address listâ&#128;&#157; which is centrally managed?</P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 22:50:51 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/mac-authentication/m-p/948874#M385528 chrispresland 2019-03-10T22:50:51Z Re: MAC Authentication... https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/mac-authentication/m-p/948875#M385558 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You still need to have a souce of where the mac addresses will be authenticated against.
