Output... 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 25-29.
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 25-29.
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 is 48 and cannot be reset.
