## MAC Authentication Bypass
## MAC-based Authentication

MAC Authentication Bypass (MBA) enables bridge ports to allow devices to bypass authentication based on their MAC address. This is useful for devices that do not support EAP, such as printers or phones.
MAC-based authentication (MBA) enables bridge ports to allow devices to bypass authentication based on their MAC address. This is useful for devices that do not support EAP, such as printers or phones.

You must configure MBA on both the RADIUS server and the RADIUS client (the Cumulus Linux switch).
