Command Syntax and Usage
reset
Re-initializes the 802.1x access-control parameters for the port. The following actions take place,
depending on the 802.1x port configuration:
force unauth - the port is placed in unauthorized state, and traffic is blocked.
auto - the port is placed in unauthorized state, then authentication is initiated.
force auth - the port is placed in authorized state, and authentication is not required.
reauth
Re-authenticates the supplicant (client) attached to the port. This command only applies if the
port’s 802.1x mode is configured as auto.
