Parameters
• auto—Enables 802.1X authentication on the port and causes it to
transition to the authorized or unauthorized state, based on the 802.1X
authentication exchange between the device and the client.
• force-authorized—Disables 802.1X authentication on the interface and
causes the port to transition to the authorized state without any
authentication exchange required. The port sends and receives traffic
without 802.1X-based client authentication.
• force-unauthorized—Denies all access through this port by forcing it to
transition to the unauthorized state and ignoring all attempts by the client
to authenticate. The device cannot provide authentication services to the
client through this port.
Default Configuration
The port is in the force-authorized state.
Command Mode
Interface (Ethernet) Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The switch removes all MAC addresses learned on a port when its
authorization control is changed from force-authorized to another.
NOTE: It is recommended to disable spanning tree or to enable spanning-tree
PortFast mode on 802.1X edge ports in auto state that are connected to end
stations, in order to proceed to the forwarding state immediately after successful
authentication.
Example
