Hi,

 

do you mean some devices are authenticated based on mac, others based on 802.1x ?

This is possible, since each auth request is just processed independent of the other.

 

Or do you want to authenticate 802.1x user only on "known" or valid mac-addresses (combined auth) ?

It is possible to "bind" a user to a mac-address (in the user properties), and as such, limiting the user to login through another device.

Doing this administratration is another thing however ...
