Configuring Authenticator Parameters

After you have enabled port access control and configured a port as an
authenticator, use this procedure to configure the authenticator
parameters. The procedure in Configuring the Port Access Role on
page 413 describes how to configure
a port as an authenticator. For
information about the role of an authenticator, see the Port-Based
Access Network Control Overview
on page 405.

To display the authenticator parameters, see Displaying Authenticator
Ports
on page 424.

Note

When you configure a port as an authenticator or supplicant, the
port’s security level is automatically changed to PA (Port Access). It
cannot be changed so long as the port is functioning as an
authenticator or supplicant. For more information about port
security, see Port Security Overview on page 102.

To configure authenticator parameters, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 6 to select Security Menu.

The Security Menu is shown in Figure 30 on page 105.

2. From the Security Menu, select Port Access Control.

The Port Access Control Menu is shown in Figure 144 on page 411.
