Optional: Reset Authenticator Operation

While 802.1X authentication is operating, you can use the following aaa portaccess authenticator commands to reset 802.1X authentication and statistics on specified ports.

Syntax

aaa port-access authenticator <port-list>

On the specified ports, blocks inbound and outbound traffic and restarts the 802.1X authentication process. This happens only on ports configured with control auto and actively operating as 802.1X authenticators.

[reauthenticate]

On the specified ports, forces reauthentication (unless the authenticator is in “HELD” state).

[clear-statistics]

On the specified ports, clears authenticator statistics counters.
