Port
(Read-Only)

See the port number of all ports known to the device. Up to 10 ports 
can be displayed as a time. Highlight NEXT and press ENTER to 
display the next set of ports.

Authentication State
(Read-Only)

See the current authentication state of each port.

These following nine described states are the possible internal states 
for the authenticator. Some states are simply pass-through states 
causing a small action and immediately moving to a new state. 
Therefore, not all states can be observed for this interface.

•

initialize: A port is in the initialize state when:

a. EAP authentication is disabled, 

b. EAP authentication is enabled and the port is not linked, or

c. EAP authentication is enabled and the port is linked. (In this case 

very little time is spent in this state, it immediately transitions to 
the connecting state, via disconnected.

•

disconnected: The port passes through this state on its way to 
connected whenever the port is reinitialized, via link state change, 
reauthentication failure, or management intervention.

•

connecting: While in this state, the authenticator sends request/ID 
messages to the supplicant. 

•

authenticating: The port enters this state from connecting after 
receiving a response/ID from the supplicant. It remains in this state 
until the entire authentication exchange between the supplicant and 
the authentication server completes.

•

authenticated: The port enters this state from authenticating state 
after the exchange completes with a favorable result. It remains in 
this state until linkdown, logoff, or until a reauthentication begins.
