Ports in Authorized and Unauthorized States
During 802.1x authentication, depending on the switch port state, the switch can grant a client access to the
network. The port starts in the
unauthorized
state. While in this state, the port that is not configured as a voice
VLAN port disallows all ingress and egress traffic except for 802.1x authentication, CDP, and STP packets.
