7. Select the parameter that you wish to modify. The parameters are

described below:

0 - Port 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.

1 - Port Control
This parameter can take the following values:

❑ 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. 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
