Chapter 33: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control Feature

314

Section II: Using the Web Browser Interface

Force-unauthorized - Places the port in the unauthorized state,
ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate. The switch cannot
provide authentication services to the client through the interface.

Force-authorized - Disables IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication
and causes the port to transition to the authorized state without any
authentication exchange required. The port transmits and receives
normal traffic without 802.1x-based authentication of the client. This is
the default setting

Transmission Period
Sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an
EAP-request/identity frame from the client before retransmitting the
request. The default value is 30 seconds. The range is 1 to 65,535
seconds.

Quiet Period
Sets the number of seconds that the port remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange with the client. The default
value is 60 seconds. The range is 0 to 65,535 seconds.

Maximum Request
Sets the maximum number of times that the switch retransmits an EAP
Request packet to the client before it times out the authentication
session. The default value for this parameter is 2 retransmissions. The
range is 1 to 10 retransmissions.

Re-authentication Period
Specifies the time period between periodic reauthentication of the
client. The default value is 3600 seconds. The range is 1 to 65,535
seconds.

Port Status
Displays the current 802.1 status of the port as either authorized or
unauthorized. This is not an adjustable parameter.

Current PVID
Displays the current port VLAN identifier or PVID assignment of the
port. You cannot change this value from the Port Based Access
Control Configuration Menu. See Chapter 10, “Virtual LANs” on page
97 for informatio
n about assigning a PVID.

Multi-host
Displays the current status of the multi-host status. The options are
Enable or Disable. By default, this field is set to Disable.

Guest VLAN ID
Displays the guest VLAN ID set for the port. Select a value between 1
and 4,000. By default, this field is blank. For more information about
guest VLAN IDs, see “Guest VLANs” on page 192.
