– Disable — Disables port-based authentication on the device.
• Authentication Method — Specifies the authentication method used for port authentication. The possible
field values are:
– RADIUS, None — Provides port authentication, first using the RADIUS server. If the port is not
authenticated, then no authentication method is used, and the session is permitted.
