fixed: Uses the MAC authentication username type of fixed username. 

account name: Specifies the fixed username. The name argument is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 55 

characters and defaults to mac. 

password { cipher | simple } password: Specifies the password for the fixed username. Specify the 

cipher keyword to display the password in cipher text or the simple keyword to display the password in 

plain text. In the former case, the password can be either a string of 1 to 63 characters in plain text or a 

string of 24 or 88 characters in cipher text. In the latter case, the password must be a string of 1 to 63 

characters in plain text. 

mac-address: Uses the source MAC address of a user as the username for authentication.  

with-hyphen: Indicates that the MAC address must include “-“, like xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. The letters in the 

address must be in lower case. 

without-hyphen: Indicates that the MAC address must not include “-“, like xxxxxxxxxxxx. The letters in 

the address must be in lower case. 

Use the mac-authentication user-name-format command to configure the MAC authentication 

username type and, if the type of fixed username is used, the username and password for MAC 

authentication. 

Use the undo mac-authentication user-name-format command to restore the default. 

By default, each user’s source MAC address is used as the username and password for MAC 

authentication, with “-“ in the MAC address. 

Note that: 

z 

When the type of MAC address is used, each user’s source MAC address is used as both the 

username and password for MAC authentication.

In cipher display mode, a password in plain text with no more than 16 characters will be encrypted 

into a password in cipher text with 24 characters, and a password in plain text with 16 to 63 

characters will be encrypted into a password in cipher text with 88 characters. For a password with 

24 characters, if it can be decrypted by the system, it will be treated as a cipher-text one; otherwise, 

it will be treated as a plain-text one.
