or the port's Admin State is changed), and if not, the port will be placed in
the Guest VLAN. Otherwise it will not move to the Guest VLAN, but continue
transmitting EAPOL Request Identity frames at the rate given by EAPOL
Timeout.
Once in the Guest VLAN, the port is considered authenticated, and all
attached clients on the port are allowed access on this VLAN. The switch will
not transmit an EAPOL Success frame when entering the Guest VLAN.
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: NAS is globally disabled.
Link Down: NAS is globally enabled, but there is no link on the port.
Authorized: The port is in Force Authorized or a single-supplicant mode and
the supplicant is authorized.
Unauthorized: The port is in Force Unauthorized or a 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.
Restart: Two buttons are available for each row. The buttons are only enabled when
authentication is globally enabled and the port's Admin State is in an EAPOL-
based or MAC-based mode.
Clicking these buttons will not cause settings changed on the page to take
effect.
Reauthenticate: Schedules a reauthentication 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.
Refresh: Used to manually refresh the information on the page.
