Port Control for Authentication

To activate authentication on an IEEE 802.1X-enabled interface, you must specify the kind of port control to be used on the interface.

The port control can be one of the following types:

  • Force-authorized: The controlled port is placed unconditionally in the authorized state, allowing all traffic. This is the default state for ports on the ICX device.
  • Force-unauthorized: The controlled port is placed unconditionally in the unauthorized state.
