6. Adjust the following parameters as necessary.
0 - Port Control
The possible settings for this parameter are:
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. This is
the default setting
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
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.
