Forcibly Authorizing or Unauthorizing a Port

IEEE 802.1X requires that a port can be manually placed into any of three states:
• ForceAuthorized is 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 is an unauthorized state by default. A device connected to this port is 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.
To place a port in one of these three states:
Step Task
1 Place a port in the ForceAuthorized,
ForceUnauthorized, or Auto state.
The example below shows configuration information for a port that has been force-authorized.
