Parameter Description
Interface Click the drop-down menu to select the port to be configured. When the selection is
changed, a screen refresh will occur causing all fields to be updated for the newly
selected port. All physical interfaces are valid.
Control Mode Click the drop-down menu to select control mode options. The control mode is only
set if the link status of the port is link up. The options are:
 Auto: The authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode to reflect the out-
come of the authentication exchanges between the supplicant, authenticator,
and the authentication server.
 Force Authorized: The authenticator PAE unconditionally sets the controlled
port to authorized.
 Force Unauthorized: The authenticator port access entity (PAE) unconditionally
sets the controlled port to unauthorized.
 MAC Based: The authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode to reflect the
outcome of the authentication exchanges between the supplicant, authentica-
tor, and the authentication server on a per supplicant basis.
Quiet Period (secs) Enter the quiet period for the selected port. This command sets the value, in sec-
onds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port to define
periods of time in which it will not attempt to acquire a supplicant. The quiet period
is the period for which the authenticator does not attempt to acquire a supplicant
after a failed authentication exchange with the supplicant. The quiet period must be
a number in the range of 0 and 65535. A quiet period value of 0 means that the
authenticator state machine will never acquire a supplicant. The default value is 60.
Changing the value will not change the configuration until the Submit button is
pressed.
