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