Port configuration
Use this panel to begin the initialization or the reauthentication sequence on the selected port.
Port 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
Lists the options for control mode. The control mode is only set if the port is in Link
Up status. The options are:
Force Unauthorized
The authenticator Port Access Entity (PAE) unconditionally sets the
controlled port to unauthorized.
Force Authorized
The authenticator PAE unconditionally sets the controlled port to
authorized mode.
Auto The authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode to reflect the result of
the authentication exchanges between the supplicant, authenticator and
authentication server.
Quiet Period (secs)
Configures the quiet period for the selected port. This command sets the value, in
seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port to define
periods of time during 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 range is 0 to 65535. A quiet period value of 0 means that the authenticator
state machine will never acquire a supplicant. The default value is 60.
