DGS-3200 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
Determines whether regular reauthentication will take place on this port. The default setting is
Disabled.
This allows the user to control the port authorization state.
Select ForceAuthorized to disable 802.1X and cause the port to transition to the authorized
state without any authentication exchange required. This means the port transmits and
receives normal traffic without 802.1X-based authentication of the client.
If ForceUnauthorized is selected, the port will remain in the unauthorized state, ignoring all
attempts by the client to authenticate. The Switch cannot provide authentication services to the
client through the interface.
If Auto is selected, it will enable 802.1X and cause the port to begin in the unauthorized state,
allowing only EAPOL frames to be sent and received through the port. The authentication
process begins when the link state of the port transitions from down to up, or when an EAPOL-
start frame is received. The Switch then requests the identity of the client and begins relaying
authentication messages between the client and the authentication server.
The default setting is Auto.
This allows the 802.1X Authenticator settings to be applied on a per-port basis. Select
Authenticator to apply the settings to the port. When the setting is activated, a user must pass
the authentication process to gain access to the network. Select None disable 802.1X functions
on the port.
Sets the administrative-controlled direction to Both. If Both is selected, control is exerted over
both incoming and outgoing traffic through the controlled port selected in the first field. The In
option is not supported in the present firmware release.
