Example of Configuring and Verifying Port Authentication
The following example shows configuration information for a port for which the authenticator re-transmits
an EAP Request Identity frame:
• after 90 seconds and a maximum of 10 times for an unresponsive supplicant
• re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frame
The bold lines show the new re-transmit interval, new quiet period, and new maximum re-transmissions.

Forcibly Authorizing or Unauthorizing a
Port
The 802.1X ports can be placed into any of the three states:
• ForceAuthorized — an authorized state. A device connected to this port in this state is never subjected
to the authentication process, but is allowed to communicate on the network. Placing the port in this
state is same as disabling 802.1X on the port.
• ForceUnauthorized — an unauthorized state. A device connected to a port in this state is never
subjected to the authentication process and is not allowed to communicate on the network. Placing the
port in this state is the same as shutting down the port. Any attempt by the supplicant to initiate
authentication is ignored.
• Auto — an unauthorized state by default. A device connected to this port in this state is subjected to the
authentication process. If the process is successful, the port is authorized and the connected device can
communicate on the network. All ports are placed in the Auto state by default.
