causes the port to transition to the authorized state without any
authentication exchange required. The port resends and receives normal
traffic without 802.1x-based authentication of the client.

the port to transition to the unauthorized state and ignoring all attempts by
the client to authenticate. The device cannot provide authentication
services to the client through the interface.
