Setting the port authorization state
The port authorization state determines whether the client is granted access to the network. You can
control the authorization state of a port by using the dot1x port-control command and the following
keywords:
• authorized-force—Places the port in the authorized state, enabling users on the port to access the
network without authentication.
• unauthorized-force—Places the port in the unauthorized state, denying any access requests from
users on the port.
• auto—Places the port initially in the unauthorized state to allow only EAPOL packets to pass. After
a user passes authentication, sets the port in the authorized state to allow access to the network. You
can use this option in most scenarios.
