ReAuthPeriod
(1-65535)
A constant that defines a nonzero number of seconds between periodic
reauthentication of the client. The default setting is 3600 seconds.
ReAuthentication Determines whether regular reauthentication will take place on this port. The
default setting is Disabled.
Port Control This allows you to control the port authorization state.
Select ForceAuthorized to disable 802.1X and cause the port to transition to
the authorized state without any authentication exchange required. This
means the port transmits and receives normal traffic without 802.1X-based
authentication of the client.
If ForceUnauthorized is selected, the port will remain in the unauthorized
state, ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate. The Switch cannot
provide authentication services to the client through the interface.
If Auto is selected, it will enable 802.1X and cause the port to begin in the
unauthorized state, allowing only EAPOL frames to be sent and received
through the port. The authentication process begins when the link state of the
port transitions from down to up, or when an EAPOL-start frame is received.
The Switch then requests the identity of the client and begins relaying
authentication messages between the client and the authentication server.
The default setting is Auto.
Capability This allows the 802.1X Authenticator settings to be applied on a per-port
basis. Select Authenticator to apply the settings to the port. When the setting
is activated A user must pass the authentication process to gain access to the
network. Select None disable 802.1X functions on the port.
Direction Sets the administrative-controlled direction to either in or both.
If In is selected, control is only exerted over incoming traffic through the port
you selected in the first field.
If Both are selected, control is exerted over both incoming and outgoing traffic
through the controlled port selected in the first field.
