You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 11.

4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
Control Mode Indicates the configured control mode for the port. Possible values are as follows:
• Auto. The switch sets the port mode based on the authentication exchanges
between the supplicant, authenticator, and the authentication server.
• Force Unauthorized. The switch denies the interface access by moving the
interface into the unauthorized state. The switch cannot provide authentication
services to the client through the interface.
• Force Authorized. The switch places the interface in an authorized state
without the need for authentication. The interface sends and receives normal
traffic without client port-based authentication.
• MAC Based. The switch sets the port mode based on the authentication
exchanges between the supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server on
a per-supplicant basis.
Operating Control Mode The control mode under which the port is actually operating. Possible values are as
follows:
• ForceUnauthorized
• ForceAuthorized
• Auto
• MAC Based
• N/A. If the port is in detached state, it cannot participate in port access control.
Reauthentication Enabled Displays whether reauthentication is enabled on the selected port. The possible
values are true and False. If the value is true, reauthentication occurs. Otherwise,
reauthentication is not allowed.
Port Status The authorization status of the specified port. The possible values are Authorized,
Unauthorized, and N/A. If the port is in detached state, the value is N/A because the
port cannot participate in port access control.
