Dell POWEREDGE M905 - Manual (Page 333)

802.1x Commands 317
• auto — Enables 802.1x authentication on the interface and causes the port to transition
to the authorized or unauthorized state based on the 802.1x authentication exchange
between the switch and the client.
• force-authorized — Disables 802.1x authentication on the interface and causes the port
to transition to the authorized state without any authentication exchange required. The
port resends and receives normal traffic without 802.1x-based authentication of the
client.
• force-unauthorized — Denies all access through this interface by forcing the port to
transition to the unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate.
The switch cannot provide authentication services to the client through the interface.

The default configuration is auto.

User Guidelines
It is recommended that you disable the spanning tree or enable spanning-tree PortFast mode
on 802.1x edge ports (ports in auto state that are connected to end stations), in order to go
immediately to the forwarding state after successful authentication.

The following example denies all access through the interface.
console(config)# interface ethernet 1/g16
