Syntax

no dot1x port-control
• auto—Enable 802.1X authentication on the interface and cause the port to transition to
the authorized or unauthorized state based on the 802.1X authentication exchange
between the switch and the client.
• force-authorized—Disable 802.1X authentication on the interface and cause the port to
transition to the authorized state without any authentication exchange required. The
port resends and receives normal traffic without 802.1X-based authentication of the
client.
• force-unauthorized—Deny all access through this interface by forcing the port to
transition to the unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate.
The switch cannot provide authentication services to the client through the interface.
