A device connected to this port in this state is never subjected to the authentication process, but is allowed to communicate on the network. Placing the port in this state is same as disabling 802.1X on the port. • ForceUnauthorized - an unauthorized state. A device connected to a port in this state is never subjected to the authentication process and is not allowed to communicate on the network. Placing the port in this state is the same as shutting down the port. Any attempt by the supplicant to initiate authentication is ignored. • Auto - an unauthorized state by default. A device connected to this port in this state is subjected to the authentication process. If the process is successful, the port is authorized and the connected device can communicate on the network. All ports are placed in the Auto state by default. To set the port state, use the following command. • Place a port in the ForceAuthorized, ForceUnauthorized, or Auto state. INTERFACE mode dot1x port-control {force-authorized | force-unauthorized | auto} The default state is auto. Example of Placing a Port in Force-Authorized State and Viewing the Configuration The example shows configuration information for a port that has been force-authorized. The bold line shows the new port-control state.
