Displaying 802.1X information

The following additional information is displayed in the show dot1x config command for an interface.

TABLE 33 Output from the show dot1x config command for an interface

Field	Description
Authenticator PAE state	The current status of the Authenticator PAE state machine. This can
	be INITIALIZE, DISCONNECTED, CONNECTING, AUTHENTICATING,
	AUTHENTICATED, ABORTING, HELD, FORCE_AUTH, or
	FORCE_UNAUTH.
	NOTE: When the Authenticator PAE state machine is in the
	AUTHENTICATING state, if the reAuthenticate, eapStart,
	eapLogoff, or authTimeout parameters are set to TRUE, it
	may place the Authenticator PAE state machine indefinitely
	in the ABORTING state. If this should happen, use the dot1x
	initialize command to initialize 802.1X port security on the
	port, or unplug the Client or hub connected to the port, then
	reconnect it.
Backend Authentication state	The current status of the Backend Authentication state machine.
	This can be REQUEST, RESPONSE, SUCCESS, FAIL, TIMEOUT, IDLE,
	or INITIALIZE.
AdminControlledDirections	Indicates whether an unauthorized controlled port exerts control
	over communication in both directions (disabling both reception of
	incoming frames and transmission of outgoing frames), or just in
	the incoming direction (disabling only reception of incoming
	frames). On Brocade devices, this parameter is set to BOTH.
OperControlledDirections	The setting for the OperControlledDirections parameter, as defined
	in the 802.1X standard. According to the 802.1X standard, if the
	AdminControlledDirections parameter is set to BOTH, the
	OperControlledDirections parameter is unconditionally set to BOTH.
	Since the AdminControlledDirections parameter on Brocade
	devices is always set to BOTH, the OperControlledDirections
	parameter is also set to BOTH.
AuthControlledPortControl	The port control type configured for the interface. If set to auto,
	authentication is activated on the 802.1X-enabled interface.
AuthControlledPortStatus	The current status of the interface controlled port either authorized
	or unauthorized.
multiple-hosts	Whether the port is configured to allow multiple Supplicants
	accessing the interface on the Brocade device through a hub.
	Refer to “Allowing access to multiple hosts” on page 179 for
	information on how to change this setting.
