 Port 2 is set to Auto. The end node connected to the
port must use its 802.1x client software and provide a
username and password to send or receive traffic from
the switch.
 Port 8 is set to the Force-authorized setting so that the
end node connected to the port does not have to
provide a user name or password to send or receive
traffic from the switch. In the example, the node is the
RADIUS authentication server. Since the server cannot
authenticate itself, its port must be set to Force-
authorized in order for it to pass traffic through the port.
 Port 7 is set to Force-unauthorized to prevent anyone
for using the port.
