[Description]
Changes the format of the user name and password used for authentication during MAC authentication.
During MAC authentication, the MAC address of the supplicant is used as a user name and password, and a request is sent to
the RADIUS server for authentication.
If this command is executed with the "no" syntax, the setting returns to the default.
[Note]
To use this command, you must enable the MAC authentication function for the applicable interface. (auth-mac enable
command)
[Example]
Change the MAC address format used for MAC authentication to all uppercase format without hyphens.

[Description]
The MAC authentication feature registers the MAC address of a supplicant that has passed authentication as a static entry in the
FDB.
Static registration is disabled when executed with the "no" syntax or when specified as disable.
[Note]
This command can only be set for LAN/SFP+ port and logical interface.
When the configuration of this command is changed, the authentication state returns to default.
Normally, MAC authentication is subject to aging timeout because it is registered as a dynamic entry in the FDB, but when this
command is enabled, it is not subject to aging timeout because it is registered as a static entry.
