• force-unauthorized - Denies all access through this interface by forcing the port to transition to the unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate. The switch cannot provide authentication services to the client through the interface. VLAN assignment is not supported in this mode. Default Configuration The default port-control mode is auto (N1100, N1500, N2000, N2100, N3000E, N3100 switch models). The default port-control mode is forceauthorized (N2200, N3200 switch models). Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet) mode User Guidelines Interface configuration takes precedence over the global port-control setting. It is recommended that you disable spanning tree or enable spanning-tree portfast mode on 802.1x edge ports (ports in auto state that are connected to end stations) in order to go immediately to the forwarding state after successful authentication. Edge ports are ports connected to end stations that do not forward traffic to other stations and do not participate in spanningtree. Command History Syntax added in version 6.6 firmware. Example The following command disables authentication on port 1/0/2 console(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2 console(config-if-Gi1/0/2)# dot1x port-control force-unauthorized The following example configures an interface to ignore 802.1x authentication messages and allow access to the network. console(config-if-Gi1/0/1)# authentication port-control force-authorized Security Commands 1078
