Setting The Port Authorization State; Specifying An Access Control Method; Setting The Maximum Number Of Concurrent 802.1X Users On A Port - HP 5920 Series Configuration Manual

Setting the port authorization state

The port authorization state determines whether the client is granted access to the network. You can
control the authorization state of a port by using the dot1x port-control command and the following
keywords:
authorized-force—Places the port in the authorized state, enabling users on the port to access the
•
network without authentication.
• unauthorized-force—Places the port in the unauthorized state, denying any access requests from
users on the port.
auto—Places the port initially in the unauthorized state to allow only EAPOL packets to pass. After
•
a user passes authentication, sets the port in the authorized state to allow access to the network. You
can use this option in most scenarios.

Step
1. Enter system view.

view.
3. Set the port authorization
state.
