Ethernet 802.1x¶
The 802.1x Ethernet payload is designated by specifying one of the following as the PayloadType value:
- com.apple.firstactiveethernet.managed [default]
- com.apple.firstethernet.managed
- com.apple.secondactiveethernet.managed
- com.apple.secondethernet.managed
- com.apple.thirdactiveethernet.managed
- com.apple.thirdethernet.managed
- com.apple.globalethernet.managed (10.13)
Payloads with active in their name apply to Ethernet interfaces that are working at the time of profile installation.
If there is no active Ethernet interface working, the com.apple.firstactiveethernet.managed
payload will configure
the interface with the highest service order priority.
Payloads without active in the name apply to Ethernet interfaces according to service order regardless of whether the interface is working or not.
Warning
If you change the active ethernet interface after the profile is installed, it will not apply to the newly active interface.
