0 - Port Role

This parameter specifies the current authentication status of the port

authenticating the supplicants that are connected to the port. If None

is selected, the port does not participate in port access control. The

default for this parameter is None.

1 - Port Control

This parameter can take the following values:

❑ Force-authorized: Disables 802.1X port-based authentication

and causes the port to transition to the authorized state without

any authentication exchange required. The port transmits and

receives normal traffic without 802.1X-based authentication of

the client. This is the default setting

❑ Force-unauthorized: Causes the port to remain in the

unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to

authenticate. The switch cannot provide authentication services

to the client through the interface
