Table 17-44 show macauthentication Output Details
Output Field What It Displays...
MAC authentication Whether MAC authentication is globally enabled or disabled. Set using the set
macauthentication command as described in “set macauthentication” on
page 17-24.
MAC user password User password associated with MAC authentication on the device. Set using the set
macauthentication password command as described in “set macauthentication
password” on page 17-24.
Port username
significant bits
Number of significant bits in the MAC addresses to be used starting with the left-most
bit of the vendor portion of the MAC address. The significant portion of the MAC
address is sent as a user-name credential when the primary attempt to authenticate
the full MAC address fails. Any other failure to authenticate the full address, (i.e.,
authentication server timeout) causes the next attempt to start once again with a full
MAC authentication. Default value of 48 can be changed with the set
macauthentication significant-bits command.
Port Port designation. For a detailed description of possible port-string values, refer to
“Port String Syntax Used in the CLI” on page 6-1.
Port State Whether or not MAC authentication is enabled or disabled on this port.
