Select a range of ports you wish to configure.
This allows the user to set the number of seconds that the Switch remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange with the client. The default setting is 60 seconds.
This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the Authenticator and
the client. The default setting is 30 seconds. It is defined in SuppTimeout, IEEE-802.1X-
2001, page 47. The initialization value is used for the awhile timer when timing out the
Supplicant. Its default value is 30 seconds; however, if the type of challenge involved in the
current exchange demands a different value of timeout (for example, if the challenge
requires an action on the part of the user), then the timeout value is adjusted accordingly. It
can be set by management to any value in the range from 1 to 65535 seconds.
This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the Authenticator and
the authentication server. The default setting is 30 seconds.
The maximum number of times that the Switch will retransmit an EAP Request to the client
before it times out of the authentication sessions. The default setting is 2. It is defined in
MaxReq, IEEE-802.1X-2001 page 47. The maximum number of times that the state
machine will retransmit an EAP Request packet to the Supplicant before it times out the
authentication session. Its default value is 2; it can be set by management to any value in
the range from 1 to 10.
This sets the TxPeriod of time for the authenticator PAE state machine. This value
determines the period of an EAP Request/Identity packet transmitted to the client. The
default setting is 30 seconds.
A constant that defines a nonzero number of seconds between periodic re-authentication of
the client. The default setting is 3600 seconds.
Determines whether regular re-authentication 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. Control is exerted over both incoming
and outgoing traffic through the controlled port selected in the first field.
This is a port-based setting to control the forwarding of EAPOL PDU. When 802.1X
functionality is disabled globally or for a port, and if 802.1X forward PDU is enabled both
globally and for the port, a received EAPOL packet on the port will be flooded in the same
VLAN to those ports for which 802.1X forward PDU is enabled and 802.1X is disabled
(globally or just for the port). The default state is disabled.
Specifies the maximum number of users. The maximum user limit is 448 users. The default
is 16. Tick No Limit to have unlimited users.
