Software Manual
Authenticating:
The 802.1x client is being authenticated.
Authenticated:
The 802.1x client has been authenticated.
Aborting:
The port is no longer authorized and is preparing to move back to the Disconnected state.
Held:
The 802.1x client failed authentication and the switch is preventing new authentication attempts for a
defined period of time. Default: 60 seconds.
Forced Authorized:
Occurs when a port has had 802.1x disabled. The result is all traffic is allowed to
pass through that port.
Forced Unauthorized:
Occurs when a port is administratively disabled through the port configuration. The
result is no traffic is allowed to pass through that port.

2.22.6
IEEE
802.1x
MIB
The IEEE 802.1x MIB, IEEE 8021-PAE-MIB, is supported by the NT24k. Since the NT24k does not support the
supplicant features of 802.1x, the MIB tables pertaining to the supplicant behavior will not be populated and will be
blank when queried.
With this release, the IEEE 802.1x MIB support is limited. Ports are only tracked when an 802.1x aware supplicant
is attached. This means that not all 802.1x enabled ports will be visible, only those with valid supplicants. The
statistics available through the MIB only pertain to the device since it either passed or failed authentication. Once
the link goes down on the port, the statistics will be reset. Furthermore, any configuration items accessed through
the IEEE 802.1x MIB can be set to modify the behavior of the port, but these changes will not persist across link
events or power cycles.
Configuration changes that occur through the NT24k MIB will be persisted across link events and power cycles.
Support for persisted statistics and configuration settings in the IEEE 802.1x MIB will be added to the NT24k in a
future release.
The IEEE 802.1x MIB allows for the writing to dot1xPaeSystemAuthControl. This is not supported in the current
release of the NT24k firmware. dot1xPaeSystemAuthControl is considered a read-only attribute. The functionality
for this is located in the NT24k MIB as ntronSecurityDot1xConfigStatus.
The IEEE 802.1x MIB allows for the writing to dot1xAuthAdminControlledDirections. Controlling the direction of the
port traffic is not currently supported in the NT24k firmware and writing to dot1xAuthAdminControlledDirections will
not have an effect on the system.
