Description
The administrative mode of the Monitor Mode feature on the device.
Monitor mode is a special mode that can be enabled in conjunction
with port-based access control. Monitor mode provides a way for net-
work administrators to identify possible issues with the port-based
access control configuration on the device without affecting the net-
work access to the users of the device. It allows network access even
in cases where there is a failure to authenticate, but it logs the results
of the authentication process for diagnostic purposes. If the device fails
to authenticate a client for any reason (for example, RADIUS access
reject from the RADIUS server, RADIUS timeout, or the client itself is
802.1X unaware), the client is authenticated and is undisturbed by the
failure condition(s). The reasons for failure are logged and buffered
into the local logging database for tracking purposes.
(EAP) over LAN (EAPOL) flood support on the device. EAPOL Flood
Mode can be enabled when Admin Mode and Monitor Mode are dis-
abled.

The Port Access Entity (PAE) role, which is one of the following:

Authenticator: The port enforces authentication and passes
authentication information from a remote supplicant (similar to a
client or host) to the authentication server. If the server success-
fully authenticates the supplicant, the port allows access.

Supplicant: The port must be granted permission by the authenti-
cation server before it can access the remote authenticator port.
