Enabling MAC move
MAC move allows 802.1X or MAC authenticated users to move between ports on a device. For example, if an authenticated 802.1X user moves to another 802.1X-enabled port on the device, the authentication session is deleted from the first port. The user is reauthenticated on the new port.
If MAC move is disabled and an 802.1X authenticated user moves to another port, the user is not reauthenticated.
As a best practice, enable MAC move for wireless users that roam between ports to access the network.
