This window allows you to set the following features:
Unit
Select the unit in the stack order to configure.
From [ ] To [ ]
Select the port or ports to be set.
AdmDir
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 is selected, control is exerted over
both incoming and outgoing traffic through the controlled port selected
in the first field.
PortControl
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. The third option is auto. This
enables 802.1X and causes 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. Each client attempting to access the network is uniquely
identified by the switch by using the client’s MAC address.
TxPeriod
This sets the period of time for the authenticator PAE state machine.
QuietPeriod
This allows you to set the number of seconds that the switch remains in
the quiet state following a failed authentication exchange with the client.
SuppTimeout
This sets the port’s suppTimeout for the Backend Authentication state
machine.
ServerTimeout*
This sets the port’s serverTimeout for the Backend Authentication state
machine.
MaxReq
Set this for the Backend Authentication state machine.
ReAuthPeriod
Set this for the Reauthentication Timer state machine.
ReAuth
Toggle the port’s re-authenticating control between Enabled and
Disabled.
*Note: The ServerTimeout value must be set to a value that is less than the Radius
Timeout and Radius Maximum Retransmit settings (see Configure General Radius
Server Setting)
