■Guest VLAN ID — Specifies the guest VLAN ID.

■Admin Port Control — Specifies the admin port authorization state.

■Auto — Enables port based authentication on the device. The interface moves between an authorized or unauthorized state based on the authentication exchange between the device and the client.

■Force Authorized — Places the interface into an authorized state without being authenticated. The interface re-sends and receives normal traffic without client port based authentication.

■Force Unauthorized — Denies the selected interface system access by moving the interface into unauthorized state. The device cannot provide authentication services to the client through the interface.

■Guest VLAN — Specifies whether the Guest VLAN is enabled on the port. The possible field values are:

■Enable — Enables using a Guest VLAN for unauthorized ports. If a Guest VLAN is enabled, the unauthorized port automatically joins the VLAN selected from the Guest VLAN ID dropdown list.

■Disable — Disables Guest VLAN on the port. This is the default.

■Periodic Reauthentication — Enables periodic reauthentication on the port.

■Enable — Enables the periodic reauthentication on the port.

■Disable — Disables the periodic reauthentication on the port.
