EAP (Port) Configuration Screen
Accessing Local Management 3-41
Authentication State
(Cont’d)
• aborting: The port enters this state from authenticating when any 
event occurs that interrupts the login exchange.
• held: After any login failure, this state is entered where the port 
remains for the number of seconds equal to quietPeriod (can be set 
using mib).
• forceAuth: Management has set this in “Port Control”. This allows 
normal, unsecured switching on this port.
• forceUnauth: Management has set this in “Port Control”. 
Absolutely no frames are forwarded to or from this port.
Backend State
(Read-Only)
See the current backend state of each port.
The backend state machine controls the protocol interaction between 
the authenticator (the switch) and the authentication server (typically a 
radius server). 
These following seven states are the possible internal states for the 
authenticator. Some states are simply pass-through states causing a 
small action and immediately moving to a new state. Therefore, you 
may not observe all of the states in this interface.
For more detail, please see the IEEE Standard 802.1X-20001, Port 
Based Network Access Control.
• request: The port has received a request from the server and is 
waiting for a response from the supplicant.
• response: The port has received a response from the server and is 
waiting for either another request or an accept or reject from the 
server.
• success: The port has received a success from the server. Send a 
success to the supplicant and move to idle.
• fail: The port has received a reject from the server. Send a fail to the 
supplicant and move to idle.
• timeout: The port has timed-out during the authentication exchange.
