selected, control is exerted over both incoming and outgoing traffic through the controlled port selected
in the first field.
• PortControl:<auto> – 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 identified (by the switch) according to the port through which the
authentication message is relayed.
• TxPeriod:[30 ] – This sets the period of time for the authenticator PAE state machine.
• QuietPeriod:[60 ] – 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:[30 ] – This sets the port’s suppTimeout for the Backend Authentication state machine.
• ServerTimeout:[30 ] – This sets the port’s serverTimeout for the Backend Authentication state
machine.*
• MaxReq:[2 ] – Set this for the Backend Authentication state machine.
• ReAuthPeriod:[3600 ] – Set this for the Reauthentication Timer state machine.
• ReAuth:<Disabled> – Toggle the port’s re-authenticating control between Enabled and Disabled.

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)
