Device Name as User Name for Non-802.1X Authentication
When a client is authenticated by non-802.1X method of authentication, the host name of the host device is
used as the user name (instead of the MAC address) of the host device. When a host device tries to obtain an IP
address by using DHCP, the host name of the host device in the option-12 field of DHCP request is used as the
host name of the host device.
A CLI command allows the use of the host name or the MAC address of a host device as the user name of the
host device. By default, the MAC address of the host device is used as the user name. If the CLIcommand is
enabled, the host name of the host device is used as the user name.
Using Device Name as User Name
In the CLI
(host) (config) #aaa profile <profile>
(host) (AAA Profile “<profile >”) #username-from-dhcp-opt12
