MAC Address Formats Sent to the RADIUS Server
The MAC address of the client is used as the username and password for authentication.
When MAC authentication is configured, the ICX device authenticates the client using
the MAC address and the RADIUS server. The device uses the MAC address for both the
username and the password in the request sent to the RADIUS server. Several formats
can be used to send the MAC address to the RADIUS server, including sending the MAC
address in uppercase. The format is configurable using the
mac-authentication password-format command. The lowercase option and xxxxxxxxxxxx are the default format.
