How to Enable MAC Address Bypass in EZRADIUS

If you are using RADIUS authentication, you might have devices that do not support EAP-TLS or other secure authentication methods. In this case, you can use MAC Address Bypass to allow these devices to connect to your network without needing to authenticate. This is not recommended for most devices as it is not secure, but it can be useful for devices that do not support secure authentication methods. To enable MAC Address Bypass, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your EZRADIUS portal.
  2. Click on Policies. EZRADIUS Cloud RADIUS Network Policies
  3. Navigate down to the access policy where you want to enable MAC Address Bypass.
  4. Click on “Enable MAC Authentication Bypass” checkbox. EZRADIUS Enable MAC Address Bypass
  5. Navigate to the top and click on “Save Changes” on the top right. EZRADIUS Cloud RADIUS Network Policy Access Policies for EAP-TLS and PAP Authentication
  6. You have now enabled MAC Address Bypass for your network. Now we have to add the MAC addresses of the devices that you want to bypass authentication.
