Configuring Port Authentication
Use the Port Authentication page to configure port access control on ports that
serve as authenticators. To enable a port as an authenticator, see
PAE
Capabilities.
To edit a port authenticator settings:
Click Security > 802.1X > Port Authentication in the navigation window.
The Port Authentication Table displays the current configuration of each port.
Select the port to configure and click Edit.
Enter the parameters:
•
Local Database User Name—Use the left and right arrows to move the
configured management users to the Available or Selected lists. Only users
in the Selected list have access to the port, subject to authentication. This list
is applicable only when the authentication is local, and not when a RADIUS
server is used for authentication.
•
Current Port Control—The current authorization status of the port
(Authorized or Unauthorized).
•
Administrative Port Control—Select the port authorization mode. The
possible values are:
-
Force Unauthorized—Select this option to always deny port access by
supplicants attaching to the port. If selected, the port control status
becomes Unauthorized.
-
auto—Select this option if the port control is based on the result of the
authentication process. If the supplicant is authenticated, the port control
status becomes Authorized, meaning the supplicant is granted access to
the port. If the supplicant is not authenticated, the port control status
becomes Unauthorized, meaning the supplicant is denied access.
-
Force Authorized—Select this option to always allow port access if
authentication of remote supplicants is not required. If selected, the port
control status will be Authorized.
•
Periodic Re-Authentication—Select this option if the port is to re-
authenticate its supplicant periodically. The port will reauthenticate at the
scheduled interval, even if it has remained authenticated.
