4 Enter the parameters:
– User Name — Displays the username of the port.
– Admin Interface Control — Select the port authorization state. The
possible options are:
•
Auto — Enables port-based authentication on the interface. The
interface moves between an authorized or unauthorized state,
based on the authentication exchange between the device and the
client.
• Authorized — Places the interface into an authorized state
without being authenticated. The interface resends and receives
normal traffic without client port-based authentication.
• Unauthorized — Denies the selected interface system access by
moving the interface into unauthorized state. The device cannot
provide authentication services to the client through the
interface.
– Current Interface Control — Displays the current port authorization
state.
– Authentication Type — Select the type of authentication on the port.
The possible options are:
•
802.1x Only — 802.1X authentication is the only authentication
method performed on the port.
• MAC Only — Port is authenticated, based on the supplicant
MAC address. Only eight MAC-based authentications can be
used on the port.
• 802.1x & MAC — Both 802.1X and MAC-based authentication
are performed on the switch. The 802.1X authentication takes
precedence.
NOTE: For MAC authentication to succeed, the RADIUS server supplicant
username and password must be the supplicant MAC address. The MAC
address must be in lower case letters and entered without the “:” or “-”
separators; for example: 0020aa00bbcc.
