802.1x port states The state of the port determines whether the client is granted access to the network, as follows: • Unauthorized-While in this state, the port discards all ingress and egress traffic except EAP packets. • Authorized-When the client is authenticated successfully, the port transitions to the authorized state allowing all traffic to and from the client to flow normally. • Force Unauthorized-You can configure this state that denies all access to the port. • Force Authorized-You can configure this state that allows full access to the port. Use the 802.1x Global Configuration Menu (/cfg/l2/8021x/global) to configure 802.1x authentication for all ports in the switch. Use the 802.1x Port Menu (/cfg/l2/8021x/port x) to configure a single port. Supported RADIUS attributes The GbE2c 802.1x Authenticator relies on external RADIUS servers for authentication with EAP.

Port-based Network Access and traffic control
41
802.1x port states
The state of the port determines whether the client is granted access to the network, as follows:
Unauthorized
—While in this state, the port discards all ingress and egress traffic except EAP packets.
Authorized
—When the client is authenticated successfully, the port transitions to the authorized state allowing
all traffic to and from the client to flow normally.
Force Unauthorized
—You can configure this state that denies all access to the port.
Force Authorized
—You can configure this state that allows full access to the port.
Use the 802.1x Global Configuration Menu (
/cfg/l2/8021x/global
) to configure 802.1x authentication for all
ports in the switch. Use the 802.1x Port Menu (
/cfg/l2/8021x/port x
) to configure a single port.
Supported RADIUS attributes
The GbE2c 802.1x Authenticator relies on external RADIUS servers for authentication with EAP. The following table
lists the RADIUS attributes that are supported as part of RADIUS-EAP authentication based on the guidelines specified
in Annex D of the 802.1x standard and RFC 3580.
