show macauthentication Output Details

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.
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.
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.
Port	Port designation.
Port State	Whether or not MAC authentication is enabled or disabled on this port.
Quiet Period	Enables a reauthentication attempt for failed entries at the period specified in seconds. Default value is 0 (never).
Reauth Period	Reauthentication period for this port. Default value of 30 can be changed using the set macauthentication reauthperiod command described in set macauthentication reauthperiod.
Reauth enabled	Whether or not reauthentication is enabled or disabled on this port. Set using the set macauthentication reauthentication command described in set macauthentication reauthentication.
Multiauth limit	Number of concurrent authentications supported on this port.
MacAuth limit	Maximum theoretical limit for the number of MAC authentications permitted for all ports, if all chassis slots are filled and, in the case of S- and K-Series, licenses are applied.
Current Sessions	Specifies the number of currently active MacAuthentication sessions for this port.
