802.1X port states

The state of the port determines whether the client is granted access to the network, as follows:

„Unauthorized

While in this state the port discards all ingress and egress traffic except EAP packets.

„Authorized

When the client is successfully authenticated, the port transitions to the authorized state allowing all traffic to and from the client to flow normally.

„Force Unauthorized

You can configure this state that denies all access to the port.

„Force Authorized

You can configure this state that allows full access to the port.

Use the 802.1X global configuration commands (dot1x) to configure 802.1X authentication for all ports in the switch. Use the 802.1X port commands to configure a single port.
