Syntax Description
Command Defaults
If port-string is not specified, control mode will be set for all ports.

auto Sets the port to auto mode. In this mode, the port is
filtering traffic. Login/Logout screens are available, as is
the Secure Harbour IP. Spoofing (ARP, DNS, WINS and
DHCP) will respond to requests. If a default policy exists
on the port, it will be ignored in the unauthenticated state.
NOTE: In order for PWA enhanced mode to
operate, port control mode must be set to auto.
forceauthorized Sets the port to force authorized mode. In this mode, the
port is transmitting and receiving traffic. The Web server
Login/Logout screens are inaccessible, as is the Secure
Harbour IP. Spoofing (ARP, DNS, WINS or DHCP) will
not respond in this mode.
forceunauthorized Sets the port to force unauthorized mode. In this mode, the
port is essentially disabled.
promiscuousauto Sets the port to promiscuous auto mode. In this mode, no
filtering is done unless a default policy applies to the port.
port-string (Optional) Sets the control mode on specific port(s). For a
detailed description of possible port-string values, refer
to Section 4.1.2.
