Syntax

dot1x port-control {auto force-authorized force-unauthorized}

no dot1x port-control

Parameters

•auto — Enables 802.1x authentication on the interface and causes the port to transition to the authorized or unauthorized state based on the 802.1x authentication exchange between the port and the client.

•force-authorized — Disables 802.1x authentication on the interface and 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.

•force-unauthorized — Denies all access through this interface by forcing 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.
