Configuring Security

– 97 –

Unauthorized - The port is in Force Unauthorized mode, or a

single-supplicant mode and the supplicant is not successfully

authorized by the RADIUS server.

X Auth/Y Unauth - The port is in a multi-supplicant mode. X

clients are currently authorized and Y are unauthorized.

Restart - Restarts client authentication using one of the methods

described below. Note that the restart buttons are only enabled when

the switch’s authentication mode is globally enabled (under System

Configuration) and the port's Admin State is an EAPOL-based or MAC-

Based mode. Clicking these buttons will not cause settings changed on

the page to take effect.

Reauthenticate - Schedules reauthentication to whenever the

quiet-period of the port runs out (EAPOL-based authentication). For

MAC-based authentication, reauthentication will be attempted

immediately. The button only has effect for successfully

authenticated clients on the port and will not cause the clients to

get temporarily unauthorized.

Reinitialize - Forces a reinitialization of the clients on the port and

thereby a reauthentication immediately. The clients will transfer to

the unauthorized state while the reauthentication is in progress.
