SET PORTACCESS
Syntax
set portaccess port=port|all
[role=none|authenticator]
[control=auto|forceauthenticate|forceunauthenticate]
[quietperiod=integer]
[txperiod=integer]
[reauthperiod=integer]
[supptimeout=integer]
[servtimeout=integer]
[maxreq=integer]
Parameters
role This parameter specifies the current authentication
status of the port . If Authenticator is selected, the port
performs the role of authenticating the supplicants
that are connected to the port. If None is selected, the
port does not participate in port access control. The
default for this parameter is None.
control This parameter can take the following values:
Force-authenticate: 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. This is the default setting.
Force-unauthenticate: 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 . 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.
