Table 183  Operations-Level Port 802.1x Menu options 
Command Description 
reset 
Re-initializes the 802.1x access-control parameters for the port. The following actions take 
place, depending on the 802.1x port configuration:  
•  force unauth - the port is placed in unauthorized state, and traffic is blocked.  
•  auto - the port is placed in unauthorized state, then authentication is initiated.  
•  force auth - the port is placed in authorized state, and authentication is not 
required.  
reauth  Re-authenticates the supplicant (client) attached to the port. This command only applies if 
the port’s 802.1x mode is configured as 
auto.  
 
Operations-level VRRP options 
Command: /oper/vrrp 
[VRRP Operations Menu] 
     back     - Set virtual router to backup 
 
 
NOTE:  This menu is available only on the GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch.  
 
Operations-level VRRP options are described in the following table.  
Table 184  Operations-Level VRRP Menu options 
Command Description 
back <1-255> 
Forces the specified master virtual router on this switch into backup mode. This is generally 
used for passing master control back to a preferred switch once the preferred switch has 
been returned to service after a failure. When this command is executed, the current master 
gives up control and initiates a new election by temporarily advertising its own priority 
level as 0 (lowest). After the new election, the virtual router forced into backup mode by 
this command will resume master control in the following cases: 
•  This switch owns the virtual router (the IP addresses of the virtual router and its IP 
interface are the same) 
•  This switch’s virtual router has a higher priority and preemption is enabled. 
•  There are no other virtual routers available to take master control.
