		Figure 7- 55. Second 802.1x Authenticator Settings window
This window allows you to set the following features:
Parameter	Description
From and To		Enter the port or ports to be set.
AdmDir		Sets the administrative-controlled direction to either in or both.
		If in is selected, control is only exerted over incoming traffic through the port you
		selected in the first field.
		If both is selected, control is exerted over both incoming and outgoing traffic through
		the controlled port selected in the first field.
PortControl		This allows you to control the port authorization state.
		Select forceAuthorized to disable 802.1x and cause the port to transition to the
		authorized state without any authentication exchange required. This means the port
		transmits and receives normal traffic without 802.1x-based authentication of the client.
		If forceUnauthorized is selected, the port will remain in the unauthorized state, ignoring
		all attempts by the client to authenticate. The Switch cannot provide authentication
		services to the client through the interface.
		If auto is selected, it will enable 802.1x and cause the port to begin in the unauthorized
		state, allowing only EAPOL frames to be sent and received through the port. The
		authentication process begins when the link state of the port transitions from down to
		up, or when an EAPOL-start frame is received. The Switch then requests the identity
		of the client and begins relaying authentication messages between the client and the
		authentication server.
		The default setting is auto.
