Description
Factory
Default
Information only
The current state of the port. It can undertake one of
the following values:
• Globally Disabled: NAS is globally disabled.
• Link Down: NAS is globally enabled, but there is no
link on the port.
• Authorized: The port is in Force Authorized or a
single-supplicant mode and the supplicant is
authorized.
• Unauthorized: The port is in Force Unauthorized or a
single-supplicant mode and the supplicant is not
successfully authorized by the RADIUS server.
• X Auth/Y Unauth: The port is in a multi-supplicant
mode. Currently X clients are authorized and Y are
unauthorized.
Globally
Disabled
The buttons
Reauthenticate
and
Reinitialize
are available for each row. The buttons are only
enabled when authentication is globally enabled and the port's Admin State is in an EAPOL-based or
MAC-based mode.
The
Reauthenticate
button schedules a reauthentication whenever the quiet-period of the port runs
out (EAPOL-based authentication). For MAC-based authentication, reauthentication will be
attempted immediately. The button only has effect for successfully authenticated clients on the port
and will not cause the clients to get temporarily unauthorized.
The
Reinitialize
button forces a reinitialization of the clients on the port and thereby a
reauthentication immediately. The clients will transfer to the unauthorized state while the
reauthentication is in progress.
