Setting The Port Authorization State - HP 3600 v2 Series Security Configuration Manual

To do...
Enter system view
Configure EAP relay or EAP
termination
NOTE:
If EAP relay mode is used, the user-name-format command configured in RADIUS scheme view does not
take effect. The access device sends the authentication data from the client to the server without any
modification. For more information about the user-name-format command, see
Reference
.

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, and
•
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.
You can set authorization state for one port in Ethernet interface view, or for multiple ports in system view.
If different authorization state is set for a port in system view and Etherent interface view, the one set later
takes effect.
Follow these steps to set the authorization state of a port:
