port-list - A specific port or a range of ports. (Range: 1-28, or all)
macbased - Enables MAC-based authentication on the port. The
switch does not transmit or accept EAPOL frames on the port.
Flooded frames and broadcast traffic will be transmitted on the port,
whether or not clients are authenticated on the port, whereas
unicast traffic from an unsuccessfully authenticated client will be
dropped. Clients that are not (or not yet) successfully authenticated
will not be allowed to transmit frames of any kind.
auto - Requires a dot1x-aware client to be authorized by the
authentication server. Clients that are not dot1x-aware will be
denied access.
authorized - Forces the port to grant access to all clients, either
dot1x-aware or otherwise.
unauthorized - Forces the port to deny access to all clients, either
dot1x-aware or otherwise.
