Defining Port-Based Authentication (802.1X) 65
■ Single-Host — Allows only a single host to connect to this port.
This is the default.
■ Admin Port Control — Specifies the admin port authorization state.
■ Auto — Enables port based authentication on the device. The
interface moves between an authorized or unauthorized state
based on the authentication exchange between the device and the
client.
■ Force-Authorized — Places the interface into an authorized state
without being authenticated. The interface re-sends and receives
normal traffic without client port based authentication.
■ Force-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.
■ Periodic Reauthentication — Enables periodic reauthentication on
the port.
■ Enabled — Enables periodic reauthentication on the port.
■ Disabled — Disables periodic reauthentication on the port.
■ Maximum Request — Sets the maximum number of times the
switch port will retransmit an EAP request packet to the client before
it times out the authentication session. The field default is 2, the range
is 1-10.
■ Max Count — The maximum number of hosts that can connect to a
port when Multi-Host operation mode is selected. The field default is
5, the range is 1-1024.
■ Reauthentication Period — Defines the time span (in seconds) in
which the selected port is reauthenticated. The field default is 3600
seconds, the range is 1-65535.
■ Quiet Period — Sets the time that a switch port waits after the
Authenticator Max Count has been exceeded before attempting to
acquire a new client. The field default is 60 seconds, the range is
1-65535 seconds.
■ Transmit Period — Sets the time period during an authentication
session that the switch waits before re-transmitting an EAP packet.
The field default is 30 seconds, the range is 1-65535 seconds.
