802.1X Port Authentication
• Quiet Period – Time a port waits after Max Request Count is exceeded before attempting
to acquire a new client (see
“dot1x timeout quiet-period” on page 178).
• TX Period – Time a port waits during authentication session before re-transmitting EAP
packet (see
“dot1x timeout tx-period,” ).
• Supplicant Timeout – Supplicant timeout.
• Server Timeout – Server timeout. A RADIUS server must be set before the correct
operational value of 10 seconds will be displayed in this field.
• Reauth Max Retries – Maximum number of reauthentication attempts.
• Max Request – Maximum number of times a port will retransmit an EAP request/identity
packet to the client before it times out the authentication session (see
“dot1x max-req” on
page 176).
• Operation Mode– Shows if single or multiple hosts (clients) can connect to an
802.1X-authorized port.
• Port Control–Shows the dot1x mode on a port as auto, force-authorized, or
force-unauthorized (see
“dot1x port-control” on page 177).
• Intrusion Action– Shows the port response to intrusion when authentication fails (see
“dot1x intrusion-action” on page 175).
• Supplicant– MAC address of authorized client.
• Authenticator State Machine
• State – Current state (including initialize, disconnected, connecting, authenticating,
authenticated, aborting, held, force_authorized, force_unauthorized).
• Reauth Count– Number of times connecting state is re-entered.
• Current Identifier– The integer (0-255) used by the Authenticator to identify the current
authentication session.
• Backend State Machine
• State – Current state (including request, response, success, fail, timeout, idle, initialize).
• Request Count– Number of EAP Request packets sent to the Supplicant without receiving
a response.
• Identifier (Server)– Identifier carried in the most recent EAP Success, Failure or Request
packet received from the Authentication Server.
• Reauthentication State Machine
• State – Current state (including initialize, reauthenticate).
