sent and received through the port. The authentication process
begins when the link state of the port changes or the port receives
an EAPOL-Start packet from a supplicant. The switch requests the
identity of the client and begins relaying authentication prompts
between the client and the authentication server.
U (Force-unauthorized) - Causes the port to remain in the
unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to
authenticate.
