For example, creating a profile that defines authentication rules for devices connecting via MAC addresses.

Use Case Examples

  1. Create a MAC authentication profile named 'GuestAccess' with specific JSON configuration to enforce network access policies.
  2. Automate the deployment of MAC authentication profiles across multiple network devices to ensure consistent security settings.
