Mode
Mode enabling network access for each port. Modes include:
• Auto: Frames are forwarded according to the
authentication state of each port.
• Forced Authorized Mode: Meant to disable
authentication on a port. It is intended for ports that
support ISLs and devices that cannot authenticate, such as
printers and file servers. If a default policy is applied to the
port via the policy profile MIB, then frames are forwarded
according to the configuration set by that policy,
otherwise frames are forwarded according to the current
configuration for that port. Authentication using 802.1X
is not possible on a port in this mode.
• Forced Unauthorized Mode: All frames received on the
port are discarded by a filter. Authentication using 802.1X
is not possible on a port in this mode.
