Port Configuration
The table has one row for each port on the selected switch in the stack and a number of
columns, which are:
Port
The port number for which the configuration below applies.
Admin State
If NAS is globally enabled, this selection controls the port's authentication mode. The
following modes are available:
Force Authorized
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Success frame when the port link comes up,
and any client on the port will be allowed network access without authentication.
Force Unauthorized
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Failure frame when the port link comes up, and
any client on the port will be disallowed network access.
Port-based 802.1X
In the 802.1X-world, the user is called the supplicant, the switch is the authenticator, and the
RADIUS server is the authentication server. The authenticator acts as the man-in-the-middle,
forwarding requests and responses between the supplicant and the authentication server.
