Supplicant Options
Control Mode The port-based access control mode on the port, which is one of the
following:

Auto: The port is in an unauthorized state until a successful
authentication exchange has taken place between the supplicant
port, the authenticator port, and the authentication server.

Force Unauthorized: The port is placed into an unauthorized
state and is automatically denied system access.

Force Authorized: The port is placed into an authorized state and
does not require client port-based authentication to be able to
send and receive traffic.
User Name The name the port uses to identify itself as a supplicant to the authenti-
cator port. The menu includes the users that are configured for system
management. When authenticating, the supplicant provides the pass-
word associated with the selected User Name.
Authentication
Period (Seconds) The amount of time the supplicant port waits to receive a challenge
from the authentication server. If the configured Authentication Period
expires, the supplicant retransmits the authentication request until it is
authenticated or has sent the number of messages configured in the
Maximum Start Messages field.
Start Period (Sec-
onds) The amount of time the supplicant port waits for a response from the
authenticator port after sending a Start packet. If no response is
received, the supplicant retransmits the Start packet.
Held Period (Sec-
onds) The amount of time the supplicant port waits before contacting the
authenticator port after an active 802.1X session fails.
Maximum Start Mes-
sages The maximum number of Start packets the supplicant port sends to the
authenticator port without receiving a response before it considers the
authenticator to be 802.1X-unaware.
