Initialize 802.1X on a port
If you initialize 802.1X on a port, the port becomes unauthorized and then goes through
the authentication procedure, causing traffic on the port to be blocked until the port is
authorized successfully.
You can initialize 802.1X on a port only if the control mode setting is Auto. This is the
default setting, in which the authenticator port access entity (PAE) sets the controlled
port mode to reflect the outcome of the authentication exchanges between the
supplicant, authenticator, and the authentication server.
To initialize 802.1X on a port:
