Section VII: Port Security 739
2 - Port Control
The possible settings for this parameter are:
Auto - Enables 802.1x port-based authentication 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 changes or the port receives an EAPOL-
Start packet from a supplicant. The switch requests the identity of the
client and begins relaying authentication messages between the client
and the authentication server. Each client that attempts to access the
network is uniquely identified by the switch using the client's MAC
address. This is the default setting.
Force-authorized - Disables IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication
and causes the port to transition to the authorized state without any
authentication exchange required. The port transmits and receives
normal traffic without 802.1x-based authentication of the client.
Force-unauthorized - Causes the port to 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
3 - Quiet Period
The quiet period is the number of seconds that the port remains in the
quiet state following a failed authentication exchange with the client.
The default value is 60 seconds. The range is 0 to 65,535 seconds.
4 - TX Period
This parameter sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for a
response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the client before
retransmitting the request. The default value is 30 seconds. The range
is 1 to 65,535 seconds.
5 - Reauth Enabled
Specifies if reauthentication should occur according to the
reauthentication period. The options are Enabled or Disabled.
6 - Reauth Period
The reauth period enables periodic reauthentication of the client, which
is disabled by default. The default value is 3600 seconds. The range is
1 to 65,535 seconds.
7 - Supplicant Timeout
This parameter sets the switch-to-client retransmission time for the
EAP-request frame. The default value for this parameter is 30
seconds. The range is 1 to 600 seconds.
8 - Server Timeout
This parameter sets the timer used by the switch to determine
authentication server timeout conditions. The default value for this
parameter is 30 seconds. The range is 1 to 65,535 seconds.
