Usage Guidelines

In a MAC address authentication scenario, the administrator needs to first create a MAC address group on the virtual gateway and add users' MAC addresses to the MAC address group. When a user's authentication request that carries the MAC address reaches the virtual gateway, the virtual gateway searches the MAC address group for a MAC address same as that of the user. If the MAC address is found, the user passes the authentication and can go online normally. If the MAC address cannot be found, the user fails the authentication, and the virtual gateway rejects the user's login request.

# Add MAC address 286e-d448-03ee to MAC address group group1.
