config dot1x port controldir
This command configures the control direction for the specified port or ports. The control
direction dictates the degree to which protocol exchanges take place between Supplicant and
Authenticator. This affects whether the unauthorized controlled port exerts control over
communication in both directions (disabling both incoming and outgoing frames) or just in the
incoming direction (disabling only the reception of incoming frames).
Default both
Format config dot1x port controldir <slot.port/all> <both/in>
config dot1x port controlmode
This command sets the authentication mode to be used on the specified port or ports. The control
mode may be one of the following:
forceunauthorized: The authenticator port access entity (PAE) unconditionally sets the controlled
port to unauthorized
forceauthorized: The authenticator PAE unconditionally sets the controlled port to authorized.
auto: The authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode to reflect the outcome of the
authentication exchanges between the supplicant, authenticator, and the authentication server.
Default auto
Format config dot1x port controlmode <slot.port/all> <forceunauthorized/
forceauthorized/auto>
config dot1x port quietperiod
This command sets the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on
this port to define periods of time in which it will not attempt to acquire a supplicant. The quiet
period is the period for which the authenticator does not attempt to acquire a supplicant after a
failed authentication exchange with the supplicant. The quiet period must be a value in the range
of 0 and 65535.
Default 60
Format config dot1x port quietperiod <slot.port> <0-65535>
