198 CHAPTER 7: AAA C OMMANDSwireless access to an SSID, specify the SSID name or specify any to matchon all SSID names. If the rule is for wired access, specify wired instead ofan SSID name.If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authenticationlast-resort command, MSS applies them in the order in which theyappear in the command, with these results:■ If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.■ If the first method does not respond, MSS tries the second method,and so on.However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, MSSoverrides any failed searches in the local WX database and sends anauthentication request to the server group.MSS uses a last-resort authentication rule under the following conditions:■ The client is not denied access by 802.1X or does not support 802.1X.■ The client’s MAC address does not match a MAC authentication rule.■ The fallthru method is last-resort. (For a wireless authentication rule,the fallthru method is specified by the set service-profileauth-fallthru command. For a wired authentication rule, the fallthrumethod is specified by the auth-fall-thru option of the set port typewired-auth command.)For wireless access, MSS appends the requested SSID name to the username last-resort. For example, if the requested SSID is mycorp, MSSattempts to authenticate the user last-resort-mycorp. If the RADIUS serveror local database used as the authentication method has the userlast-resort-mycorp, access is granted. Otherwise, access is denied.If the SSID specified in the last-resort authentication rule is any, MSSsearches for user last-resort-any. The any in the username is not awildcard. The username must be last-resort-any, exactly as spelled here.Examples — The following command configures a last-resortauthentication rule in the local WX database for SSID mycorp:WX4400# set authentication last-resort ssid mycorp localsuccess: change accepted.
