Usage 
Information
If the host responds to 802.1X with an incorrect login/password, the login fails. The switch 
attempts to authenticate again until the maximum attempts configured is reached. If the 
authentication fails after all allowed attempts, the interface moves to the authentication failed 
VLAN.
After the authentication VLAN is assigned, the port-state must be toggled to restart 
authentication. Authentication occurs at the next reauthentication interval (dot1x 
reauthentication
).
