This MIB module defines a portion of the SNMP enterprise
MIBs under Enterasys Networks' enterprise OID pertaining to
MAC-Authentication.
This MIB was designed to be used for authentication using
source MAC addresses received in traffic on ports under
control of MAC-authentication.
The security afforded by this approach is neither the primary
concern nor intent of this MIB. Rather, this MIB provides
a convenient method of associating policy with MAC
addresses and applying that policy when the MAC address
appears on a pre-approved port in the network.
The term MAC-Authentication is used because an authentication
backend mechanism is used to allow the MAC onto the network,
as well as provide authorization information to the switch.
