User’s Manual of MGSW-28240F
While in the Guest VLAN, the switch monitors the link for EAPOL frames, and if
one such frame is received, the switch immediately takes the port out of the
Guest VLAN and starts authenticating the supplicant according to the port mode.
If an EAPOL frame is received, the port will never be able to go back into the
Guest VLAN if the "Allow Guest VLAN if EAPOL Seen" is disabled.
Port State
The current state of the port. It can undertake one of the following values:
Globally Disabled
Link Down
: NAS is globally enabled, but there is no link on the port.
Authorized
: The port is in
mode and the supplicant is authorized.
Unauthorized
: The port is in
single-supplicant mode and the supplicant is not successfully
authorized by the RADIUS server.
X Auth/Y Unauth
: The port is in a multi-supplicant mode. Currently X
clients are authorized and Y are unauthorized.
Two buttons are available for each row. The buttons are only enabled when
authentication is
EAPOL-based or
Restart
Clicking these buttons will not cause settings changed on the page to take effect.
Reauthenticate
: Schedules a reauthentication to whenever the quiet-period of
the port runs out (EAPOL-based authentication). For MAC-based authentication,
reauthentication will be attempted immediately.
The button only has effect for successfully authenticated clients on the port and
will not cause the clients to get temporarily unauthorized.
Reinitialize
: Forces a reinitialization of the clients on the port and thereby a
reauthentication immediately. The clients will transfer to the unauthorized state
while the reauthentication is in progress.
