config dot1x port controldir
This command configures the control direction for the specified port or ports. The control direction dictates the degree to which protocol exchanges take place between Supplicant and Authenticator. This affects whether the unauthorized controlled port exerts control over communication in both directions (disabling both incoming and outgoing frames) or just in the incoming direction (disabling only the reception of incoming frames).
Default | both |
Format | config dot1x port controldir <slot.port/all> <both/in> |
config dot1x port controlmode
This command sets the authentication mode to be used on the specified port or ports. The control mode may be one of the following:
forceunauthorized: The authenticator port access entity (PAE) unconditionally sets the controlled port to unauthorized
forceauthorized: The authenticator PAE unconditionally sets the controlled port to authorized.
auto: The authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode to reflect the outcome of the authentication exchanges between the supplicant, authenticator, and the authentication server.
Default | auto |
Format | config dot1x port controlmode <slot.port/all> <forceunauthorized/ |
| forceauthorized/auto> |
config dot1x port quietperiod
This command sets the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port to define periods of time in which it will not attempt to acquire a supplicant. The quiet period is the period for which the authenticator does not attempt to acquire a supplicant after a failed authentication exchange with the supplicant. The quiet period must be a value in the range of 0 and 65535.
Default | 60 |
Format | config dot1x port quietperiod <slot.port> |
