6. Adjust the following parameters as necessary.
1 - Port Control
The possible values for this parameter are:
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
Force-unauthorized - Causes the port to remain in the
unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to
authenticate. The switch cannot provide authentication services
to the client through the interface
Auto - Enables 802.1x port-based authentication and causes the
port to begin in the unauthorized state, allowing only EAPOL
frames to be sent and received through the port. The
authentication process begins when the link state of the port
changes or the port receives an EAPOL-Start packet from a
supplicant. The switch requests the identity of the client and
begins relaying authentication messages between the client and
the authentication server. Each client that attempts to access the
network is uniquely identified by the switch using the client's
MAC address.
