Port summary information Field Port Control Mode Description The port for which settings are displayed. This configured control mode for the port: • Force Unauthorized: The authenticator port access entity (PAE) unconditionally sets the controlled port to unauthorized. • Force Authorized: 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. Operating Control Mode The control mode under which the port is actually operating. The options are as follows: • ForceUnauthorized • ForceAuthorized • Auto • MAC Based • N/A: If the port is in detached state, the value is N/A because the port cannot participate in port access control. Reauthentication Enabled Indicates if reauthentication of the supplicant is allowed. If the value is True, reauthentication is allowed. Otherwise, reauthentication is not allowed. Control Direction The control direction, which determines the degree to which protocol exchanges occur between a supplicant and authenticator. The direction 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).
