dot1x port-control
Controls port-state authorization.
Synopsis dot1x port-control {auto | force-authorized | force-unauthorized}

force-authorized Forces a port to remain in an authorized state. This also allows connection
from multiple clients.
force-unauthorized Forces a port to remain in an unauthorized state.
Defaults The default port state is auto.
Command Modes Interface subtype configuration mode
