Correct, adding an additional MAC to the maximum won't do it.

Unsure about MAC-Auth (Cisco's MAB) but in 802.1X there's a mode where
the first MAC to authenticate enables any MAC on the port to communicate
to the network. It's the multi-host mode. You might want to look into that.

Be aware that MAC-Auth / 802.1X was accidentally broken between 2.1.0
and 2.2.1.
