Description
The interface associated with the rest of the data on the page.
The Port Access Entity (PAE) role, which is one of the following:
• Authenticator The port enforces authentication and passes authentication information from
a remote supplicant (client or host) to the authentication server. If the server successfully
authenticates the supplicant, the port allows access.
• Supplicant The port is connected to an authenticator port and must be granted permission by
the authentication server before it can send and receive traffic through the remote port.
The port-based access control mode on the port, which is one of the following:
• Auto The port is unauthorized until a successful authentication exchange has taken place.
• Force Unauthorized The port ignores supplicant authentication attempts and does not provide
authentication services to the client.
• Force Authorized The port sends and receives normal traffic without client port-based
authentication.
• MAC-Based This mode allows multiple supplicants connected to the same port to each
authenticate individually. Each host connected to the port must authenticate separately in order
to gain access to the network. The hosts are distinguished by their MAC addresses.
The number of seconds that the port remains in the quiet state following a failed authentication
exchange.
