Force Authorized
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Success frame when
the port link appears, and any client on the port will be permitted to
access the network without authentication.
Force Unauthorized
In this mode, the switch sends one EAPOL Failure frame when the
port link appears, and any client on the port will not be permitted to
access the network.
Reauthentication Enable
If selected, successfully authenticated supplicants/clients are
reauthenticated after the interval specified by the Reauthentication

no longer attached.
