What is zyMacAuthenticationNamePrefix?

This read-write DisplayString specifies a prefix appended to all MAC addresses sent to the RADIUS server for MAC authentication. Admins configure this when their RADIUS policy expects a specific naming convention for MAC-based accounts, such as distinguishing MAC-auth requests from regular usernames. For example, setting this to 'mac-' causes the switch to send 'mac-001122334455' rather than the bare MAC address.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.46.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ZYXEL-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-MIB::zyMacAuthenticationNamePrefix

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.46.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ZYXEL-MAC-AUTHENTICATION-MIB::zyMacAuthenticationNamePrefix.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.46.1.2.1 s <value>
