Description
Default 1
Range 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,ALL
Allows you to select a specified unit's (see preceding Unit field) port number
to view or configure. To view or configure another port, type its port number
and press [Enter], or press the spacebar to toggle the port numbers. If you
set this field value to All, other screen field values you modify apply to all
ports for the specified unit.
The All value is also useful when you want to apply modified field values to
most of, but not all of, your switch's ports. For example, if you want to apply
modified field values to 23 of your switch's 24 ports, it may be easier to apply
the All value in the Port field, and then reconfigure the single port back to its
original values.
Default 1
Range 1 to 28,ALL
Allows you to activate EAPOL authentication for the specified unit/port.
Default No
Range No,Yes
Allows you to set the EAPOL authorization status for the specified unit/port.
Default Force Authorized
Range Force Authorized,Force Unauthorized,Auto
• Force Authorized means the specified unit/port authorization status is
always authorized.
• Force Unauthorized means the specified unit/port authorization status is

A read-only field that shows the current authorization status for the specified
unit/port. This read-only field does not appear when the Unit/Port field value
is set to All.
Default Authorized
Range Authorized,Unauthorized
Allows you to choose whether EAPOL authentication is set for incoming and
outgoing traffic or for incoming traffic only. For example, if you set the
specified unit/port field value to Incoming and Outgoing, and the EAPOL
authentication fails, then both incoming and outgoing traffic on the specified
unit/port is blocked.
Default Incoming and Outgoing
