denied access.
• Force-Authorized - Forces the port to grant access to all clients,
either dot1x-aware or otherwise.
• Force-Unauthorized - Forces the port to deny access to all
clients, either dot1x-aware or otherwise.
• Port State - The state of the port.
• Reset - Two options available:
• Re-Authenticate - Schedules a reauthentication to whenever the
quiet-period of the port runs out.
• Force-Reinitialize - Bypasses the quiet-period of the port and
enables immediate reauthentication regardless of the status for the
quiet-period.
Note: The reason for a "quiet-period" follows: If a re-authentication
fails, the IEEE802.1X standard enforces a so-called
"quiet-period" in which the authenticator (switch) shall be quiet
and not re-try another authentication - also packets from
supplicant are discarded in this quiet period - this way
'brute-force' attacks are prevented.
