Section VI: Port Security 399
The graphical image of the switch shows which ports have already
been assigned port roles. An “A” indicates that a port is functioning as
an authenticator while an “S” indicates the port is functioning as a
supplicant. A black port has not been assigned a port role and is not
participating in port-based access control. This is the default setting for
a port.
4. To set a port’s role, click on the port. The selected port turns white.
You can select more than one port at a time.
5. Click Port Role.
The Port Role Configuration page is shown in Figure 163.

at a time. The possible settings are:
None
The port is not to participate in port-based access control. This is the
default setting.
Authenticator
The port is to function as an authenticator. This is the appropriate
setting if the port is connected to a supplicant.
Supplicant
The port is to function as an supplicant. This is the appropriate setting
if the port is connected to an authenticator.
7. Click Apply.
The new role is immediately implemented on the port.

Disabling 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control” on page 400.
