A device provides ports for clients to access a LAN. The ports support the following access
control modes:
Authorized-force: A port in this mode allows clients to access network resources without
authenticating the clients.
Unauthorized-force: The device does not authenticate clients accessed through a port in
this mode.
Auto: A port in this mode allows clients to send and receive packets but does not allow
clients to access network resources before authentication succeeds. If authentication
succeeds, the port allows clients to access network resources. This mode is mostly used.
eSpace 7850, 7830, 7820 and 7810 supports the EAP-MD5 authentication algorithm.
