The image of the switch displays the roles of the ports. An “A”
indicates an authenticator port and an “S” a supplicant port. A black
port has not been assigned a port role and is not participating in port-
based access control. This is the default setting for a port.
4. To set a port’s role, click the port. A selected port turns white. You can
configure more than one port at a time.
