5. Configure the following parameters:
Port Control
Choose from the following values:
❑ 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. 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 by using the client's
MAC address. This is the default value.
❑ Force-authorized: Disables 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.
❑ 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.
Tx Period
Sets the number of seconds the switch waits for the EAP-
request/identity frame response from the supplicant before
retransmitting the request. The default value is 30 seconds. The
range is 1 to 65,535 seconds.
Supplicant Timeout
Sets the switch-to-client retransmission time for the EAP-request
frame. The default value is 30 seconds. The range is from 1 to 600
seconds.
Max Requests
This parameter specifies 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 is 2
retransmissions. The range is 1 to 10 retransmissions.
Quiet Period
Sets the number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet
state following a failed authentication exchange with the clien
t.
The default value is 60 seconds. The range is 0 to 65,535 seconds.
