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.

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.
