User name limitation that causes problem for MAC-Based Authentication

FLEX 200

So I've been configuring with 802.1x with a Cisco switch and FLEX 200 as Authentication RADIUS Server even when I could use Cisco built in option.

So its really odd that my MAC was 08-00-27-EE-C7-AF but you can put that in FLEX200 because it must start with a letter so I change the MAC of the device to F8-00-27-EE-C7-AF and this worked.

I guess what I'm asking is please can you make it so user name can start with a number.

A side note for some odd reason the built in option for Authentication RADIUS Server on Cisco will not let you do 802.1x Based Authentication and MAC Based Authentication at the same time but if the RADIUS Server is to FLEX 200 it can.😏
