These parameters are displayed:
Port Authentication Status
– Sets the global setting for 802.1X.
(Default: Disabled)
EAPOL Pass Through
– Passes EAPOL frames through to all ports in
STP forwarding state when dot1x is globally disabled.
(Default: Disabled)
When this device is functioning as intermediate node in the network
and does not need to perform dot1x authentication,
EAPOL Pass
Through
can be enabled to allow the switch to forward EAPOL frames
from other switches on to the authentication servers, thereby allowing
the authentication process to still be carried out by switches located on
the edge of the network.
When this device is functioning as an edge switch but does not require
any attached clients to be authenticated,
EAPOL Pass Through
can be
disabled to discard unnecessary EAPOL traffic.
