View	System view
Parameter	fixed: Uses the MAC authentication username type of fixed username.
	account name: Specifies the fixed username. The name argument is a
	case-insensitive string of 1 to 55 characters and defaults to mac.
	password { cipher simple } password: Specifies the fixed password for the fixed
	username. Using the cipher keyword displays the password in cipher text. Using
	the simple keyword displays the password in plain text. In the former case, the
	password can be either a string of 1 to 63 characters in plain text or a string of 24
	or 88 characters in cipher text. In the latter case, the password must be a string of
	1 to 63 characters in plain text.
	mac-address: Adopts the user’s source MAC address as the username, which is
	case-insensitive.
	with-hyphen: Indicates that the MAC address must include “-”, like
	xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. The letters in the address must be in lower case.
	without-hyphen: Indicates that the MAC address must not include “-”, like
	xxxxxxxxxxxx. The letters in the address must be in lower case.
Description	Use the mac-authentication user-name-format command to configure the
	username and password for MAC authentication.
	Use the undo mac-authentication user-name-format command to restore
	the default.
	By default, a user’s source MAC address is used as the username and password.
	And whether “-” is necessary in the MAC address varies with devices.
	Note that:
	■ When using the type of fixed username, you must also manually configure the
	password.
	■ When the user’s source MAC address is used as the username, the password is
	also that MAC address.
	■ In cipher display mode, a password in plain text with no more than 16
	characters will be encrypted into a password in cipher text with 24 characters,
