Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When a static user triggers authentication through an ARP packet, you can run the static-user password command to set the password for the static user. The access device then sends the password to the authentication server.

Precautions

To improve security, change the default password immediately and update the password periodically. It is recommended that the new password contains at least two types of lower-case letters, upper-case letters, numerals, and special characters, and contains at least 6 characters.

This function takes effect only for users who go online after this function is successfully configured.
